Governor Janet Mills VETOED LD 307 on April 24, 2026 — "An Act to Establish the Maine Data Center Coordination Council and Place a Temporary Limitation on Certain Data Centers." The bill would have made Maine the first state with a statewide moratorium on new data centers using 20+ MW, freezing approvals through November 1, 2027. Mills cited the bill's failure to exempt a $550M data center project at the former Androscoggin Mill in Jay. The legislature passed LD 307 on April 14 by 79-62 in the House and 21-13 in the Senate, falling short of the two-thirds majority needed for an override. Mills said she will issue an executive order creating a council to study data center impacts.
