Eagan’s Data Center Moratorium in Court | Duluth News

Eagan’s data center moratorium is under fire in court as Eagan Capital sues, claiming the city oversteps by regulating electricity use — a power they say belongs to the state Public Utilities Commission. The company seeks to overturn the one-year pause and recover $50K in damages, while residents grapple with noise and vibration complaints. Tensions escalated when Eagan denied their chiller permit, sparking heated city meetings. Meanwhile, Minneapolis and other Minnesota cities are also pausing new data center approvals, reflecting a nationwide clash between rapid tech infrastructure growth and community concerns. Eagan stands firm, ready to defend its decision as this legal battle underscores the growing friction between local governance and big data expansion.
