13 Kids Join Challenge Against Homer City Gas-Fired Power Plant

In April, Knighthead Capital Management, Homer City Redevelopment (HCR), and Kiewit Power Constructors Co. announced a plan to convert the former Homer City Generating Station, previously the largest coal-fired power plant in Pennsylvania (Indiana County, 50 miles east of Pittsburgh) 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 (see Largest Gas-Fired Power Plant in the U.S. Coming in Western Pa.). The new gas-fired plant attached to the project will be THE LARGEST gas-fired power plant in the country, capable of producing up to 4.5 gigawatts (4,500 MW) of electricity. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) recently approved an air quality plan for the new facility (see PA DEP Signals Air Plan Approval for $10B Homer City Power Plant). Last week we told you that PA radicalized green groups (Clean Air Council, PennFuture, and Sierra Club) have officially appealed the DEP’s permit approval (see PA Green Groups Appeal DEP Permit for Homer City Gas-Fired Power). You can now add to the lawfare campaign a group of 13 children, represented by Our Children’s Trust, who are challenging the project.
