New Jersey fines DataOne data center $1M for unpermitted gas generators
New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection fined the DataOne data center in Vineland $1 million after inspectors found it running 62 gas-powered generators without state approval, according to Gothamist. NJDEP commissioner Ed Potosnak called it the largest enforcement action ever taken against a data center in the state. The facility, backed by Microsoft funding, is still under construction as part of a $17 billion project.
