Program Summary

Public GIS map showing where proposed data centers are located in Pennsylvania and the status of their environmental permits.

Full Description

DEP launched the tracker alongside Executive Order 2026-05 (signed August 18, 2026), which sets environmental and local-approval requirements for data centers and pulls them out of the permit fast track. The map tracks each proposed project's DEP permits, which makes it useful for watershed groups watching water withdrawals, discharges and stormwater impacts. Pairs well with River Network's data center resources already in the library.
