新泽西州环保部门对数据中心运营商DataOne处以110万美元罚款，原因是该公司违法安装和运营62台柴油发电机1。根据调查，其中45台发电机正在运行，产生功率达1982千瓦，这一规模远超该州规定的许可证要求阈值1。新泽西州法律规定，功率在37千瓦以上的发电机需获得必要许可证，而DataOne的这些设备均未取得相关许可1。
此案件由调查机构The Guardian和Floodlight News在2024年8月通过热成像无人机航拍曝光1。这些柴油发电机的运行会产生二氧化碳、氮氧化物、一氧化碳等燃烧相关污染物，可能加重哮喘患者病情、引发心脏病发作，甚至导致早期死亡1。DataOne因违反新泽西州《空气污染控制法》而面临这一罚款处分1。
New Jersey regulators have imposed a $1.1 million penalty on DataOne, a data center operator, for illegally installing and operating 62 diesel generators without proper authorization 1. An investigation revealed that 45 of these generators were actively running, collectively producing 1,982 kilowatts of power—more than 50 times the state's threshold of 37 kilowatts, which requires a permit 1.
The violation was uncovered after thermal imaging captured by drone footage in August 2024, conducted by The Guardian and Floodlight News, exposed the undisclosed generators 1. New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection determined that the facility's operation breached the state's Air Pollution Control Act 1. The emissions from the generators include carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and other combustion-related pollutants that can worsen asthma, trigger heart attacks, and contribute to premature death 1.
