The Future of AI Data Centers Has Been Found: It’s in Western PA

In January, MDN brought you the news that TECfusions, based in Tampa, Florida, had purchased 1,395 acres in Upper Burrell (Westmoreland County), PA, for a groundbreaking data center project called TECfusions Keystone Connect (see Massive 3 GW Gas-Fired AI/Data Center Coming to Southwest Pa.). 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. Both projects, plus other recently announced data center projects in PA, equal a huge opportunity for Marcellus/Utica gas. These major announcements have not gone unnoticed by mainstream media. None other than the Washington Post published a major article with the title: "I have seen the future of AI. Its in Western Pennsylvania."
