New rules for St. Louis data centers pass

The St. Louis Board of Aldermen passed a board bill establishing new regulations for data centers. These rules define permissible construction locations and set strict limits on noise and heat emissions. Additionally, the legislation mandates specific requirements for the proportion of power derived from renewable sources. The bill has now been sent to Mayor Cara Spencer for final review, marking a significant step in managing the city's data center zoning and environmental impact standards.
