Ohio proposed constitutional amendment to ban data centers will not be on this year’s ballot

Ohio voters will not vote on a proposed constitutional amendment to ban large data centers in November 2024. Conserve Ohio, the group behind the amendment, aims to place it on the 2027 ballot after failing to meet the July 1 signature deadline. The amendment would prohibit data centers with a peak load exceeding 25 megawatts per month, a threshold that would block most modern facilities.
