‘Bitcoin Going to Zero’ Google Searches Rise With Crypto Sentiment in the Dumps

PPL, the regulated utility company serving much of Pennsylvania, anticipates having at least 10 GW of data centers under binding Electric Service Agreements (ESA) by the end of Q1 2026, with 5 GW currently under construction. This development aligns with a broader trend in Pennsylvania, where commercial properties are increasingly converting to accommodate the rising power demands of high-compute facilities, particularly as utilities like PPL actively support the infrastructure needed for expanding data centers.
