Original: New Jersey datacenter fined $1.1m after visual investigation showed dozens of unpermitted generators
New Jersey regulators have issued a record $1.1m fine against DataOne's datacenter facility in Vineland after dozens of unpermitted generators were documented there. The enforcement action followed a visual investigation by Floodlight, carried out with The Guardian, which found the backup power equipment had been installed without required permits. The case highlights growing scrutiny of datacenters' environmental impacts and their rapidly expanding energy infrastructure.
Why now: The record fine and the datacenter industry's expanding environmental footprint are drawing attention.
