Description
Description | The Pennsylvania House has passed several bills aimed at regulating data center projects in the state. These bills include mandates for data centers to disclose energy and water usage, pay into energy assistance programs, use a certain percentage of clean energy, and comply with local township regulations. The legislation also directs the Public Utility Commission to enact binding rules for data centers using over 25 MW of energy, including standards for contracts with utilities and protection of ratepayers from increased costs. The bills are currently awaiting consideration in the state Senate, where there is some hesitation to pass individual bills without a holistic approach. |
