Florida Data Center Watch
Independent Research | Public Transparency | Florida
Florida Data Center Watch is an independent research initiative that tracks hyperscale data center development, local government regulations, utility regulatory proceedings, and public decisions affecting communities across Florida.
The initiative brings together publicly available information to help residents, policymakers, and other stakeholders better understand proposed developments, regulatory actions, infrastructure demands, and potential impacts on utility ratepayers and local communities.
Our interactive dashboards provide access to four areas of research: development projects, local regulations, Florida Public Service Commission filings, and government hearings and decisions.
Available in both desktop and mobile-friendly formats, the dashboards allow visitors to explore the information using the viewing experience that best suits their device.
Explore the data. Review the decisions. Stay informed.

What Is Being Tracked
Data Center Projects
Track hyperscale data center developments across Florida, including project locations, developers, reported electrical capacity, and development status. Records distinguish proposed projects from approved, withdrawn, and other development actions.
Local Regulations
Explore how Florida counties and municipalities are responding to data center development through zoning ordinances, moratoriums, land-use restrictions, and other regulatory measures. Track proposed regulations alongside adopted government actions.
PSC Filings & Utilities
Examine regulatory filings and utility tariffs before the Florida Public Service Commission, including proposed and existing tariff provisions, infrastructure cost responsibility, financial security requirements, and measures addressing potential financial risks to utility ratepayers.
Hearings & Decisions
Follow public hearings, regulatory proceedings, local government actions, and relevant court developments affecting data center projects across Florida. Track scheduled actions, documented decisions, and proceedings where outcomes remain pending or require further verification.
Research Methodology & Data Disclaimer
Florida Data Center Watch is an independent research initiative maintained by Meridian Group Strategies.
Information is compiled from publicly available sources, including local government records, planning and zoning documents, regulatory filings, public meeting materials, and court records where applicable.
How Information Is Classified
Projects and regulatory actions are categorized according to their documented status at the time of review. Proposed developments, preliminary authorizations, adopted regulations, and final government decisions are distinguished wherever supporting information is available.
Reported electrical capacity, infrastructure requirements, and other project characteristics may reflect developer statements, preliminary applications, or publicly disclosed estimates. These figures do not necessarily represent approved construction or operational capacity.
Updates and Verification
The dashboard is updated as new information becomes available and records are reviewed. Some developments may remain under investigation or require additional verification.
A missing date, incomplete record, or pending status should not be interpreted as confirmation that an action has or has not occurred.
Public Information Notice
Florida Data Center Watch is provided for informational and public policy research purposes. It is not an official government database. Users should consult the relevant government agency or original public record when making legal, financial, regulatory, or development-related decisions.
