San Francisco has suspended approvals for new data centers for 45 days. The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved this interim moratorium on October 6-7, 2026, introduced by Supervisor Shamann Walton. The Planning Department has 25 days to produce a report on the impacts of these facilities regarding energy, water, noise, and pollution. This report could lead to a permanent ban, similar to the one adopted by Monterey Park in May 2026. Oakland and Hayward are considering similar measures, which could create a patchwork of regulations across the Bay Area.
