# San Francisco Imposes Data Center Moratorium

San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors unanimously approved an immediate 45-day moratorium on new data centers within city limits, which officials may extend for roughly two years while considering permanent restrictions. The pause creates regulatory and schedule uncertainty for data-center development and related construction, power, water, and infrastructure work, with particular implications for proposed projects in Bayview-Hunters Point.

- The measure affects planning for new data centers in San Francisco; it does not announce a contract award or funding opportunity.
- Developers and infrastructure suppliers should reassess schedules and commitments tied to proposed city projects, especially in Bayview-Hunters Point.
- Procurement teams evaluating related construction, power, water, and infrastructure needs may face project delays or changes if the moratorium is extended or permanent restrictions are adopted.
