To address air quality concerns, testing of backup diesel generators will be banned on poor air quality days, and the facility must generate a small amount of renewable energy on-site. Developers argue the project will bring vital tax revenue and revitalize a struggling neighborhood, while also boosting St. Louis’s business profile—despite no tenant yet secured. As the city’s first large-scale data center, it’s expected to demand 120 megawatts of power, surpassing the threshold for new electric rates. Broader regulations are still in development, with further amendments and Planning Commission review pending. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
