New Jersey orders a data-center operator to pay a $1.1M fine
New Jersey's DEP fined DataOne $1.1 million after investigators found 45 of 62 gas generators operating without required permits. DataOne says it will seek permits and disputes the fine while moving toward lower-emission fuel cells, so the enforcement finding and the operator's response remain distinct claims.
