The Vineland data center has been hit with a record fine of $1.07 million by New Jersey regulators. The penalty stems from the operation of 62 natural gas generators without the required permits, leading to significant violations of pollution laws. The state Department of Environmental Protection issued the fine after inspections revealed the unpermitted generators, raising concerns about air pollution. This hefty fine highlights ongoing regulatory scrutiny of data centers in the region, marking a substantial legal and financial setback for the facility.
