Local politics could slow down the investment in Kilby's data center project. A moratorium on new data center projects has been imposed by Greg Abbott, Governor of Texas, who said that 'investment in the system must be a solution, not a problem'. Joulent, the newly formed company formed by Cheniere engineering, has recently added two former executives to its structure.

These have received C-level leadership positions, confirming their intention to grow and develop further projects. The investment in Kilby has had a positive impact on local politics. The generation of autonomous energy from the project will allow other companies to avoid the costs of energy derived from the country's network.

Moreover, the fact that it is situated in a rural area where there are no public space issues or local opposition groups can be considered a significant advantage. Michael Wortley, the new finance head of Joulent, has declared that the approval of construction contracts is 'a week or day closer'. Tim, Vice President of Energy Projects at Chevron, has emphasized that 'if you're part of the resolution, finally they'll get their approvals'.

The most stringent restrictions on data center activities have been imposed by New York and Texas, but these are temporary measures that are being strengthened only after the November elections. The power shift between parties may lead to future restrictions. The Kilby project should produce energy by 2028, and Joulent has established that the approval of construction contracts will be 'a week or day closer'.

The Arizona state government has promised to provide a more friendly working environment for project developers to facilitate the implementation of the project.
