PA's largest coal plant to become 4.5GW gas-fired AI hub
Briefly

Developers have announced plans for a $10 billion natural gas-powered datacenter campus at the site of Pennsylvania's largest coal plant, aiming to generate up to 4.5 gigawatts by 2027. Led by Homer City Redevelopment, the campus will support AI and high-performance computing workloads. The facility, adjacent to the decommissioned plant, will utilize seven General Electric turbines and aims for a 60-65% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Kiewit Power Constructors is set to initiate construction with the first generators installed by 2026, aligning with demand for advanced computing capabilities.
