unknown · County measure
Imposes a 15-month moratorium on commercial wind, solar, and new battery-storage projects in Presque Isle County, but does not specifically regulate data centers.Presque Isle County Data Center Moratorium (2026)

What this means

The proposed 15-month moratorium targets wind, solar, and certain new battery-storage uses—not data centers generally (“Commercial Energy Projects”). It could delay a data center project that includes a covered battery-storage use, but the sources don’t show a broader restriction on building or operating data centers.

Timing

Ends
fifteen (15) months after the effective date

The moratorium is subject to extension by resolution of the County Board of Commissioners. Little Trout Solar Phase I is exempt from the moratorium.
