A data center announced for the state of Hesse, western Germany, has been canceled.
Plans by hyperscale data center operator Stack Infrastructure to build the facility outside the town of Babenhausen, southeast of Frankfurt, were abandoned amid uncertainty about the level of support afforded the project by local government.

According to previous reporting by DataCenterInsider, the data center would have cost €3 billion ($3.4bn) and created up to 200 permanent jobs in the area.
In a statement provided to Hessenschau, the landowners for the site, Aumovio, a vehicle technology firm, confirmed that the project had been canceled “with great regret,” citing “protracted and uncertain processes” related to its planning application.
