New Jersey regulators have fined a DataOne datacenter in Vineland $1.1 million after a journalist-led visual investigation found dozens of unpermitted diesel generators on the site. It is described as the state regulator's largest fine of its kind, and the case is drawing attention to the environmental footprint and regulatory oversight of rapidly expanding datacenter infrastructure.
