Maine Gov. Janet Mills Vetoes Statewide Moratorium on AI Data Centers

Maine’s Democratic Governor Janet Mills has vetoed what would have been the nation’s first statewide moratorium on large AI data centers. Mills said in a statement she had blocked the landmark bill because it did not include an exception on a data center in the town of Jay, at the site of a vacant mill that shuttered in 2023. Maine’s data center moratorium had drawn strong bipartisan support and was backed by Maine residents, who had raised alarm about the potential threats to the environment and higher energy costs. At least a half a dozen states, including New York and Michigan, have considered similar measures. Click here to see our coverage of this story.

Janet Mills vetoes #Maine #DataCenter ban

by Ethan Andrews, April 24, 2026

"The bill passed by the Maine Legislature earlier this month would enact an 18-month moratorium on new data centers that use more than 20 #megawatts of power.

"It would have made Maine the first state in the country to enact such a ban on the controversial facilities, which support #CloudComputing and artificial intelligence at the cost of large amounts of electricity and #water."
