News Summary:

Equinix's data center in Secaucus, New Jersey, experienced a diesel fuel spill on September 11, releasing an estimated 5,000 to 5,500 gallons of No. 2 diesel into a local waterway after a storage tank failure. The fuel flowed into a storm drain, then into an unnamed tributary that feeds Anderson Creek, connected to the Hackensack River. Earlier, on July 29, 2026, a tribunal in Cape Town cleared Equinix to proceed with two new data centers in the city’s King Air Industria precinct. These facilities are expected to draw nearly 170MW of power upon completion.
