The Independence City Council has approved Nebius' plan to acquire electricity for a 2 million-square-foot data center set to open in the fall, which will include a new power plant funded by Nebius without affecting residents' electric bills. Residents have expressed concerns about potential noise and environmental issues, while a city council vote in March will consider tax breaks for Nebius during the three-year construction period, with tax revenue expected to start in 2028.
