Last week, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed bill SB484 into law. This will place new restrictions on data center companies and protect the communities where they operate, to some degree.
"You should not pay one more red cent for electricity because of a hyper-scaled data center as an individual," said DeSantis. "That's just not right for the wealthy companies in the history of the world to come in and have individual Floridians, or Americans, SUBSIDIZE these hyper-scale data centers."
As reported by Action News Jax, the law will "authorize local governments to oversee data center property development", "public utilities require data centers to pay service costs, not ratepayers", and addresses some water concerns.
There have been numerous proposed data center projects across the state as well as across the US and beyond.
