Louisiana enacts data center moratorium by...?

This event tracks whether the State of Louisiana will enact a mandatory statewide moratorium on new data centers (or those with interconnection capacity over 100 MW) by various deadline dates ranging from late 2026 through 2028.

How the outcomes relate

The outcomes represent a ladder of successive cutoff dates. Because each market asks if the law is enacted by a specific deadline, an enactment before an earlier cutoff will cause that market and all subsequent deadline markets to resolve Yes. Therefore, more than one market can resolve Yes.

How it resolves

Each market resolves to Yes if Louisiana enacts a statutory or constitutional provision establishing a mandatory statewide moratorium on new data centers (or data centers over 100 MW) between creation and the specified date at 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Executive orders, agency orders, local bans, tax incentive suspensions, and discretionary authority do not qualify. Resolution is determined by enactment date rather than effective date, using official Louisiana state government information or credible reporting consensus.
