Data Center Ratepayer Protection Bill
Tell the PA Senate to Pass Data Center Legislation! Conservation Voters of PA are urging voters to support the State Senate bill by calling their legislators. The bill has key protections against astronomical energy rate increases. It also requires that data centers be powered by a significant portion of new, clean energy and puts protections in place to help prevent blackouts. According to the Conservation Voters of PA, supporting this bill does not mean you support data centers.
