Facebook Parent Meta Pauses Data Center Plans In Netherlands

  • Meta Platforms Inc FB had halted plans to build a large data center in the Netherlands following intense government backlash, Bloomberg reports.

  • However, the Dutch Senate approved a motion to reconsider the plan.
  • Meta also faced opposition at the local level over a potential clash with the country’s national vision for sustainability.
  • In February, the Dutch government announced a nine-month block on data center permits exceeding 10 hectares, citing a lack of space.
  • Price Action: FB shares traded higher by 2.86% at $229.96 on the last check Tuesday.
