From agency document to usable record

Methodology

Every populated field links to a public source: an authority’s page, permit, notice, filed order or reported decision. County geography carries its own source. Every row is dated to the vote, order, notice or hearing it records.

Compare like instruments: a generator exemption, an air permit and a rezoning each address a different part of a project. Each record gives you the agency, case identifier and scope to continue your review.

Reuse the collection under CC BY 4.0: CSV, JSON and the citation index. Send a source-backed correction to hello@datacenterpermittracker.com.

Reading a permit record

What does a recorded approval cover?

Each row names the instrument and its authority. An air permit covers specified equipment; a wetlands notice records an application; a zoning rule sets a land-use pathway. The Scope field describes the action covered by that record.

Does a California generator exemption approve a whole data center?

A Small Power Plant Exemption transfers the relevant generation project to local permitting. The developer still needs applicable local, state and federal permits. The tracker labels these records “Generator exemption” and keeps their MW basis visible.

Are meeting dates upcoming or historical?

Both are retained and labelled on each record page. The meeting type distinguishes a public hearing from a board meeting, workshop or informational update. A notice comment deadline is a separate field; use the linked authority’s agenda for participation instructions.

Can I compare reported megawatts across projects?

Filter by Power basis before comparing. Backup generation, IT capacity, facility demand and potential campus capacity describe different quantities. Countywide policies carry no project MW, and an empty cell means the source states no figure.

Which places does the tracker cover?

22 US states plus Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany and England. Each state hub groups its moratoria, rezonings, denials, permits and hearings, from past votes to meetings still on the calendar.

Agency guidance: CEC generation permitting and Maryland’s permit responsibilities.
