Provider notes
Energy. Proposed direct electrical interconnection to Millstone Units 2 and 3; 15% of Millstone output reserved for data centers. Host fee agreement executed March 2023 ($231M over 30 years to Waterford in lieu of taxes).
Community. Concerned Citizens of Waterford and East Lyme (CCWEL) formed in opposition. CT Siting Council denied Dominion's petition (January 2024) citing lack of information. Opposition demonstrated via ISO-NE data that both Millstone reactors were simultaneously inoperable for 5 weeks, contradicting developer's reliability claims. CT Attorney General reviewed monopolization concerns.
What the source record says
Connecticut has no hyperscale data centers. Governor Lamont's administration has since required new data centers to bring their own power generation rather than draw from the grid, and has proposed a PILOT framework in lieu of the prior tax incentive structure. Only one company (Cigna) used Connecticut's data center tax incentive since its enactment.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

Compute Atlas 1.34.1 with retained prior rows and publication holds. This is a DataCenterData composite, not an unmodified publisher edition. This row uses the captured source from 1.34.1, source as of 2026-10-14T20:40:52.293Z.
That does not mean the row is wrong, and it does not mean no reviewed record exists for the same place. A link is added only when an identifier or source establishes the match.
