(Harrisburg, PA) The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission has issued a final order establishing a new tariff framework for large electricity users, including expanding data centers. 

According to the commission, the framework is intended to address growing electricity demand while limiting impacts on existing utility customers. 

The final order follows a vote during the commission’s April 30 public meeting adopting a modified framework for large-load customers after more than a year of hearings, stakeholder input, public comments and technical review.
