Maine at a glance
The largest footprint in Maine belongs to Prime Data Centers, behind 1 tracked facility. Many of these sites are filed under shell or project names rather than the parent's — our operator column resolves them back to the real corporate parent wherever the chain is documented.
Geographically, the buildout clusters: Cumberland County leads Maine with 2 facilities and a composite risk score of 6/100. Our county risk score weights project exposure (40%), power demand (30%), water draw (15%), and land footprint (15%); the full breakdown is shown on each county page.
We also surface the accountability trail: 3 state bills mentioning data centers and 6 recent news items are tracked for Maine below, pulled from LegiScan and GDELT and refreshed automatically. Legislation is linked to the counties and operators it names; news is classified by community sentiment.
Data-center policy watch: Maine's legislature passed a statewide data-center moratorium (LD 307) in 2026, but the governor vetoed it.
