About the event
Please join on September 9, 2026 us for our FIRST FBA monthly luncheon:
Big Loads, Big Decisions: The Legal Landscape for Data-Center Siting
Across the county and here in Minnesota, there is increased interest in hyperscale data centers: projects with electric demand rivaling that of cities. These projects drive new infrastructure development, raise cost-allocation questions, and generate local controversy.
Professor James Coleman will survey the legal landscape for the siting of these data centers: what local officials can control through zoning and conditional-use permits; what belongs in development and infrastructure agreements; key variables and uncertainties (electric load profiles, backup generation plans, infrastructure triggers, etc.); and how local decisions intersect with statewide regulatory review and grid-wide electricity planning.
Please contact Elizabeth Scheibel (elizabeth.scheibel@faegredrinker.com) for any accommodation requests or with any questions.
