The Knox County Commission voted to approve a proposed resolution aimed at regulating data centers, impacting their location, design and operational requirements.
There are already "three data centers, two in Knox County... a smaller one located in Downtown Knoxville on Summit Hill"... A "larger center has a contracted demand of around 70 megawatts as compared to one of the KUB's big users, UT Medical Center, which uses 12 to 15 megawatts."
