On July 23, 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order 14318, entitled "Accelerating Federal Permitting of Data Center Infrastructure," to spur development of "artificial intelligence (AI) data centers and infrastructure that powers them, including high‑voltage transmission lines and other equipment . . . by easing Federal regulatory burdens." The order directs relevant agencies (1) to encourage the development of projects by offering federal funding through loans, loan guarantees, grants, tax incentives, and offtake agreements; and (2) to use available authorities to fast-track permitting for the projects.
