A proposal for a $19.2 billion AI data center in Edgecombe County, North Carolina, has been withdrawn as local officials mull a 24-month moratorium on new data center developments.
Developer Energy Storage Solutions withdrew the project earlier this month, according to comments made by Edgecombe County manager Eric Evans at a county board of commissioners meeting on July 6.

The project was planned for the Kingsboro development area near Tarboro and would have been a multi-phase development. Tarboro is a town located some 70 miles east of Raleigh, the state capital.
Reports on the total planned size and power capacity of the site vary, with some suggesting the final site could be a campus encompassing 300 acres, with a total capacity of 900MW.
