Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has signed an executive order that significantly restricts data center development statewide. The order requires local approval for state permits, removes fast-track permitting, and mandates developers provide their own energy infrastructure and community benefits. This policy shift, aimed at protecting communities, is expected to face legal challenges from the data center industry.
