Developers of a $500 million data center looking to build in Batavia have promised an efficient cooling system to cut down on water usage, which the city has capped at 1,000 gallons per day.
The Batavia City Council recently amended an agreement with Miami-based energy and digital infrastructure company Hut 8 Corp. to provide water to the data center.
As part of a contract the city council approved Sept. 2, the data center will be limited to 1,000 gallons of water per day on average.
Despite assurances from developers and the limit imposed by the amendment, some continued to voice concerns over the data center’s water consumption, while others said the topic has been blown out of proportion.
