Shapiro Imposes Strict Data Center Regulations in Pennsylvania

Shapiro Slaps 'Strictest' Guardrails on Data Centers in Pennsylvania

Natural Gas Intelligence (NGI) reported that Shapiro, the Governor of Pennsylvania, has introduced strict regulations for data centers in the state. The new rules aim to reduce energy consumption and promote sustainable practices.

The governor's office stated that the measures are designed to be 'the strictest' in the country, with a focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting renewable energy sources.

Details of the regulations include stricter guardrails for data centers, which will be required to use at least 50% of their electricity from renewable sources by 2025. This move is seen as a significant step towards reducing carbon emissions in the state.
