Description
Description | The project involves the expansion of data center facilities in Oregon, which now occupy about 2,900 acres and consume roughly 11% of the statewide electricity. The expansion has raised concerns about electric bills, water supplies, and the capacity of the electrical grid to support the increased demand. The development has made Oregon one of the top three states in the nation for data center growth. Issues include Google's operations in The Dalles drawing close to two-fifths of the municipal water supply and petitions in Washington County to pause new data center construction due to rising power costs and agricultural impacts. |
