HB 2674 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 66 (Public Utilities) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in general provisions relating to Public Utility Code, further providing for definitions.

This bill updates the Pennsylvania Public Utility Code by formally defining "commercial data centers" and refining the legal definition of "public utility." It specifically categorizes large data facilities with a peak demand of 25 megawatts or more as commercial data centers, while simultaneously clarifying that such facilities are not considered public utilities if selling electricity to the grid is not their primary business. These changes aim to provide clearer regulatory boundaries for utility providers and data center operators without altering existing operational requirements.
