Senator Pushes Pause on Data Centers | Hartford News

State Senator Jeff Gordon is calling for a pause on new data centers in Connecticut, proposing a temporary moratorium to protect ratepayers from rising energy costs. He’s pushing for separate energy pricing, on-site power solutions, and stricter environmental reviews covering water, air, and noise—with public input included. With growing local opposition and New York’s recent precedent, Gordon aims for bipartisan action to ensure responsible development, including infrastructure planning, safety, and financial safeguards. He warns that outdated laws and lack of transparency could leave Connecticut vulnerable, urging smart, informed decisions instead of rushed approvals.
