Craig Williams, aims to make data centers construct their own power sources, including natural gas plants, solar and wind, or nuclear, alongside their facilities.<\/li>\n<li>Williams asserts that this measure can bring economic benefits to Pennsylvania, reversing the trend of Pennsylvania importing energy needed for their data centers.<\/li>\n<li>The bill proposes that the data centers should pay for any additional utility infrastructure costs that their power projects would require.<\/li>\n<li>It is part of a broader initiative, including Governor Josh Shapiro&#8217;s GRID policy and President Trump&#8217;s similar energy pledge, to ensure that data center operators contribute proportionately to their energy needs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>State of Artificial Intelligence: Data Centers Bringing Power | Harrisburg https:\/\/www.weny.com\/news\/harrisburg\/state-of-artificial-intelligence-data-centers-bringing-power\/article_f2ea3ab2-3bdc-5f54-b364-e44d9c859059.html Publish Date: 2026-06-03 17:09:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":225551,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com\/weny.com\/content\/tncms\/assets\/v3\/editorial\/7\/e6\/7e645337-547d-5e2e-aada-294f584e63d0\/6a2098b938159.image.png?crop=1920%2C1008%2C0%2C35&resize=1200%2C630&order=crop%2Cresize","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-225550","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225550"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=225550"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225550\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":225552,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225550\/revisions\/225552"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/225551"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=225550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=225550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=225550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
