大型电力公司Jemena因社区强烈反对而暂停在墨尔本郊区的电力基础设施项目1。该工程原计划用66,000伏的15米混凝土电力杆替换现有的8米木制电力杆1，旨在为跨越Footscray、Yarraville和Brooklyn的27个拟建数据中心供电1。当地居民对这些被称作"混凝土巨石"的高压电力杆提出了强烈质疑。
维多利亚州政府正在推进新的监管框架以应对数据中心的快速扩张1。州总理Ben Carroll表示，数据中心需要"护栏"和"社区许可证"1，州内阁定于周一讨论全州数据中心限制方案1。政府考虑的措施包括要求数据中心通过环保局获得开发许可证，以及在工业园区划定特定区域1。能源系统研究员Dylan McConnell指出，这场围绕人工智能基础设施发展的辩论正在全球范围内进行1。
Major power company Jemena has suspended a project to replace 8-meter wooden power poles with 15-meter concrete structures carrying 66,000 volts across Melbourne suburbs, following significant community opposition to infrastructure supporting 27 planned data centres in the Footscray, Yarraville, and Brooklyn areas.1 The dispute reflects growing tension over rapid artificial intelligence infrastructure expansion in the region, prompting the Victorian government to develop new regulatory controls over data centre development.1
Victorian Premier Ben Carroll stated that data centres need "guardrails" and a "community licence," with the state cabinet set to discuss statewide restrictions on data centre expansion on Monday.1 The government is considering multiple regulatory approaches, including requiring data centres to obtain development approval through the Environmental Protection Authority and designating specific industrial zones for such facilities.1 Energy systems researcher Dylan McConnell noted that this debate is unfolding globally as nations grapple with infrastructure demands for emerging technologies.1
