Gov. Mike Kehoe said Missouri is at a pivotal moment as it works to attract and power large data centers. At a summit on Missouri's energy future, Greater St. Louis Inc. CEO Ron Kitchens warned that communities without large data centers may not be viable in the future. The event, hosted by Missouri's Public Service Commission, featured charts showing the impact of massive data centers on state electricity demand and state economic growth. Speakers also celebrated multiple new hyperscale data center projects, with Amazon and Google centers in Montgomery County and Nebius in Independence. However, they warned that the state's existing infrastructure needs major updates due to the rapid growth. Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe said he expects the state to introduce more data centers in the upcoming Missouri legislative session.
