Portage moves toward data center pause as concerns grow nationwide
The Portage City Council on March 24 unanimously voted to move forward with an ordinance that would establish a temporary moratorium on data centers and battery energy storage systems (BESS).
The action does not immediately enact the moratorium. Instead, it directs city staff to prepare an amendment to the city code for future council consideration.
According to the meeting agenda, the proposed change would amend Chapter 42 of the city code to establish a temporary moratorium on the developments.
If adopted at a future meeting, the moratorium would pause new development related to data centers and battery storage systems while the city considers how to regulate them.
