Pennsylvania's Power Future - Balancing Growth, Supply, and Affordability

Pennsylvania’s energy system is at a pivotal moment. The rapid expansion of data centers—now essential infrastructure for cloud computing, AI, logistics, finance, and virtually every sector of the modern economy—is creating new opportunities for communities across the Commonwealth. These facilities bring significant investment, but also require thoughtful land-use planning, robust electrical service, and alignment with community needs and local development priorities.
At the same time, data centers are reshaping electricity demand. Their large, steady loads affect power markets, transmission planning, and long-term resource adequacy. As electric vehicles, advanced manufacturing, and other emerging industries add to growing demand, Pennsylvania must ensure that the grid and our power generation sector can support both economic growth and long-term affordability.
Navigating this landscape is not simple. Utilities, policymakers, developers, and technology companies each have distinct responsibilities—and understanding how they fit together is essential for businesses making strategic decisions.
Join a panel of leaders for a conversation about the forces driving today’s power challenges, the dynamics of the data‑center economy, and what businesses leaders ought to consider as they navigate this pivotal moment. As data centers and other high‑demand industries reshape the energy future, this is one of the most important issues facing Pennsylvania businesses today.Don’t miss it.
Panelists: Christine Martin, President, PPL Electric Utilities State Representative David Rowe, Chairman, House Policy Committee Merle Madrid, Senior Manager, Public Policy, AWS
