Data Centers Face Downgrade Risk Amid Local Pushback, S&P Says

Data centers face potential credit rating downgrades due to moratoriums and cancellations driven by public opposition, according to S&P Global Ratings. Local pushback against new facilities, citing concerns over power usage and environmental impact, has led to project delays and cancellations. S&P warns that these developments could strain the financial health of data center operators and affect their creditworthiness.
