Bowman Says Virginia Data Center Order Raises Bar for Project Approvals

By Public Technologies
  • Bowman Consulting warned Virginia data center developers to revisit assumptions about fast-track permitting and older diesel backup generation under Executive Order 22.
  • Signed September 18, 2026, the order advances a framework requiring local approval for data centers using more than 25 MW.
  • The framework calls for developers to bear more grid costs and make stronger upfront financial commitments.
  • Projects with strong water stewardship, noise mitigation and clean backup power strategies will be better positioned for approval, Bowman said.
  • Virginia plans to seek legislation codifying the standards in the 2027 General Assembly session.
