Governor Janet Mills expressed reservations about Maine’s proposed 18-month moratorium on large data centers, which could make Maine the first state to enact such a ban. The moratorium, awaiting funding, was approved by the Senate and rejected exceptions for ongoing projects like one in Jay. Mills highlighted concerns about electricity rates, noting a 267% increase near data centers from 2020 to 2025. She questioned the accuracy of such data and criticized its misuse in public policy.
