Stream Data Centers has proposed a 2.2-million-square-foot data center at the STAMP industrial park in Western New York, aiming to consume about 500 megawatts of electricity. This demand could power nearly 400,000 homes but raises concerns about increased electric bills for residential and business customers statewide.

The Tonawanda Seneca Nation is opposing the project due to potential threats from noise, light, and runoff. Additionally, grid experts warn that New York's already limited power supply may lead to higher prices.
