PA’s new executive order won’t halt data centers — but it could reshape where they get built

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro signed an executive order that will reshape data center development in the state, imposing stricter environmental and energy standards and removing projects from an expedited permitting program. The Department of Environmental Protection will now play a larger role, requiring developers to agree to project-specific Consent Orders and adhere to GRID Standards. This initiative aims to encourage data centers to utilize sites with existing power infrastructure and lower-carbon energy sources.
