Shapiro signs data center order barring fast-track permitting, NDAs

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro signed Executive Order 2026-05, making new data center development standards legally binding and requiring local community approval for projects. This executive action reverses a previous voluntary certification approach and removes data center projects from the state's Fast Track permitting program. Developers must now fund their own electricity infrastructure, source clean energy, and secure local approval before state sign-off.
