[US Data Center Construction Halts Intensify: At Least 17 Projects Cancelled in Q3, Highest Since 2024] According to statistics from the independent third-party website Programs, the "blue tsunami" unleashed by the Democratic Party in the midterm elections has exacerbated market concerns about the progress of data center construction. As of November 4, of the 69 data center projects canceled since 2024, about half were canceled due to local resident resistance, making it the primary reason for project cancellations. The website also shows that at least four data center projects have been canceled in the US since October; in the third quarter, at least 17 projects were canceled, the highest number since 2024. The number of canceled data center projects since the second half of this year is already close to the total for 2025.
