Summary:

President Trump's Executive Order 14318, issued July 23, 2025, directs federal agencies to accelerate permitting for AI data center infrastructure — including high-voltage transmission lines — by easing regulatory requirements. The order authorizes agencies to support data center development through federal loans, loan guarantees, grants, tax incentives, and offtake agreements. Advocates should note that this expedited permitting framework could reduce opportunities for environmental review and public input on data center projects.
