Pennsylvania officials are considering new regulations for data centers to mitigate rising energy costs for consumers, with advocates urging that these facilities should bear the expenses tied to their operations. Projected energy demand increases by 34% over the next 15 years have raised concerns about infrastructure costs being passed on to consumers. Additionally, legislation has been introduced to revoke a tax exemption for data centers, which has already cost the state $80 million and could lead to future losses of $235 million.
