Healey signs executive order on data centers
Governor Maura Healey directed state agencies to withhold permits for data centers with peak demand over 25 MW unless local approval, clean energy funding, water/air standards, and a community benefits agreement are secured; she also required a fee into a ratepayer protection fund.
Westfield enacts one-year data center moratorium
City councilors in Westfield voted earlier in 2026 to impose a one-year moratorium on additional data centers after initially supporting Servistar Realties' proposal, which would have been New England's largest data center campus.
Massachusetts' executive order creates a new regulatory gate for data centers: no state permits for projects over 25 MW without local approval, a community benefits agreement, self-funded clean energy, and compliance with water, air, and engagement standards. Regulatory lawyers and compliance teams will parse the scope of the permit ban, the enforceability of community benefits agreements, and the ratepayer protection fee.
