Updates, newest first

  1. Feb. 17, 2026 Law Week Colorado reported that Logan County's data center rules, Resolution 2026-5, took effect for facilities of 1 MW or more nameplate capacity. (Law Week Colorado, July 27, 2026)
  2. Dec. 30, 2025 Big Pivots reported Granite Renewables had been meeting county officials since late summer and that about 4,000 acres had been discussed in Sterling. (Big Pivots (via Kiowa County Press), Dec. 30, 2025)
  3. Dec. 16, 2025 At a work session, commissioners said no data center application had arrived, that applicants would have to arrange their own power and transmission, and that a hearing on data center rules was set for Jan. 6, 2026. (Logan County Board of County Commissioners, Dec. 16, 2025)
  4. Oct. 7, 2025 At a business meeting, Logan County commissioners asked the county attorney to draft a moratorium on data center, battery storage, wind and solar projects, for adoption Oct. 21, while rules were written.

Conflicts and open questions

  • The minutes do not name the developer; Big Pivots does. Acreage (about 4,000) was discussed locally and may include solar and storage; it is not entered as project acres.
  • Whether an application was filed after the county's rules took effect was not found.
