The Texas technology giant involved in developing a $15 billion artificial intelligence data center campus in Port Washington has dropped its lawsuit protesting Wisconsin’s data center regulations, according to a report in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Oracle, which is developing the Port Washington data center campus along with OpenAI and Vantage, had filed suit in Ozaukee County Circuit Court against utility regulators over rules that it says would cause “substantial and unreasonable costs” on data center development.
The regulations, approved in April by Wisconsin’s Public Service Commission, are part of a new electric rate structure for We Energies that are designed to protect ratepayers from the costs of providing energy to data centers.
Oracle filed a notice of voluntary dismissal on Aug. 17 but did not explain why it had dropped the lawsuit.
