Estimated Completion of GEIS
The Generic Environmental Impact Statement is expected to be finalized within one year, establishing new standards and allowing projects to proceed if compliant.
Executive Order 62 Signed
Governor Hochul signs the order, which takes effect immediately, pausing permits for large data centers.
Moratorium Effective Immediately
Department of Environmental Conservation ceases issuing discretionary permits for hyperscale data centers not already deemed complete.
The moratorium halts new hyperscale data center projects in New York for up to a year, redirecting demand for servers, cooling equipment, and construction materials to other states, while existing projects face permit delays that could ripple through logistics.
The moratorium could slow the deployment of secure, low-latency data centers critical for financial services and other regulated sectors. Cybersecurity leaders must assess how the pause affects data residency, disaster recovery, and physical security postures.
