Surging Interest in Building Data Centers in PA; 6 Announced So Far
In early April, MDN brought you the exciting news that THE largest gas-fired power plant in the country, along with a MASSIVE data center complex, will be built at a former coal-fired power plant site in Indiana County, PA (see Largest Gas-Fired Power Plant in the U.S. Coming in Western Pa.). The site will be transformed into a more than 3,200-acre natural gas-powered data center campus, complete with a 4.5 gigawatt Marcellus-fired power plant. Not long after, we told you about another announced data center and gas-fired power plant, this one coming to Washington County, PA (see 'Another Data Center Announced for SWPA; Range to Provide NatGas'). Liberty Energy Inc., Imperial Land Corporation, and Range Resources announced a strategic alliance to support the development of a state-of-the-art gas-fired power plant and data center within the Fort Cherry Development District in Robinson Township. However, those aren't the only two announced data center projects in the Keystone State.To view this content, log into your member account. (Not a member? Join Today!)
