A rendering of the new Homer City campus. Kiewit (click for larger version)
This is VERY exciting news. The former Homer City Generating Station, previously the largest coal-fired power plant in Pennsylvania (Indiana County, 50 miles east of Pittsburgh), will be transformed into a more than 3,200-acre natural gas-powered data center campus, designed to meet the growing demand for artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC). The new gas-fired plant will be THE LARGEST gas-fired power plant in the country, capable of producing up to 4.5 gigawatts (4,500 MW) of electricity. And yummy Marcellus gas will feed it! Put another way, it will use roughly 750 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of Marcellus gas---some three-quarters of a Bcf every single day. Massive!
