St. Louis city officials have introduced new regulations for data centers, detailing restrictions on size, power consumption, and location. The framework mandates data centers to be 500,000 square feet or smaller, draw 5 to 75 megawatts of power, and maintain a 300-foot distance from schools and parks. Additional requirements include noise pollution controls, active pedestrian spaces, and the use of closed-loop cooling systems, with renewable energy targets set for operation within five years.
