Utah Governor Spencer Cox issued an executive order directing state agencies to evaluate and guide the development of data centers within the state, according to FOX 13 News Utah. The order signals a formal effort by state government to manage how data center growth interacts with Utah's power grid, water resources, and economic development goals. Utah has seen significant interest from technology companies seeking land and energy in the Mountain West region. The executive order is expected to produce recommendations on incentives, siting standards, and utility coordination in the coming months.
