Tina Kotek ordered the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality to pause the processing and issuance of air and water permits for new or expanded data centers until July 1, 2027. This directive applies to permits related to construction or operation, including National Pollution Discharge Elimination System and Title V air quality permits. The pause also covers municipal applications seeking to modify wastewater treatment plant permits for data center discharge.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The pause restricts the permitting process for large-scale commercial data center infrastructure in Oregon. Kotek stated the action supports local moratoriums and allows time for policy review ahead of the 2027 Legislature. This regulatory action directly impacts the ability of companies to build and expand tech facilities in the state.
