Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro issued an executive order imposing strict restrictions on data center construction, requiring the project to obtain approval from the local government before applying for state-level permits, and must comply with water-saving standards, bear additional electricity costs, and resolve its own electricity supply problems. Shapiro said that a large number of data center projects are pouring into Pennsylvania, and some developers are ignoring the interests of local communities. As AI investment grows rapidly, many states in the US have begun to limit data center expansion to deal with power, environmental, and community pressures. New York State has promoted the suspension of environmental permits for large data centers for up to one year; Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who has long supported data center development, has also suspended the approval and review of some new projects.
