PA DEP’s “About 25” Data Centers: MDN Names All 27 & Their Power

Pennsylvania's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) says it has "about 25" data center projects in some stage of permitting. DEP didn't name them, so MDN went digging. Buried in the data behind DEP's own Data Center Permit Tracker map, we found 27 projects that have actually filed for DEP permits. We then asked the question our readers care about most: where will each one get its electricity? The answer: seven of the 27 will burn natural gas on site or have gas-fired plants dedicated to them. Most of the rest will plug into a grid that runs largely on (you guessed it) natural gas.
