Enbridge Proposes Natural Gas Pipeline and Data Center in Chatham County
What happened
Enbridge proposed a 28-mile natural gas pipeline in Chatham County, North Carolina. This proposal coincided with community opposition to a planned 750-megawatt data center in Moncure, associated with Sanford developer Kirk Bradley. Environmental advocates and elected officials protested the rapid industrial expansion in the area.

Why it matters
The proposals have drawn strong opposition from environmental groups and local officials, who are seeking a two-year statewide moratorium on new data centers. Lawmakers sent letters to regulators seeking stronger environmental scrutiny of the pipeline and industrial projects.
Enbridge projects are currently underway in North Carolina, where the company is seeking residential and commercial customers.
