What it would mean nearby
The order is meant to keep new data centers from pushing their power costs onto residential electric bills by requiring developers to pay for all of their own electricity. This does not change anyone's electric rate directly, but it is meant to stop the cost of new substations and power lines built for data centers from being added to everyone else's bill. This is the overall statewide trend behind the individual utility price to compare increases: the average Pennsylvania household's total electric bill grew by roughly a fifth between 2024 and 2026.
