Examples include bans in Hubbard and Granville, Ohio, a permanent ban above 10 MW in Emporia, Kansas, and moratoriums in Wells and Wiscasset, Maine.

That load lands on the SPP grid. Named power suppliers: Evergy. The largest expected load is Digital Realty Astra Enterprise Park (420 MW by 2030, announced). Added natural gas burn, from grid-supplied and on-site generation, comes to about 27.4 MMcf/d on an average day.
