Amazon is building Bucks County's first data center at the old U.S. Steel Fairless Works property in Falls Township, near the Delaware River. It is part of Amazon's announced 20 billion dollar Pennsylvania investment and is expected to bring more than 1,200 permanent jobs once finished. As of a July 2026 open house the building was nearly complete but not yet operating.
Most of the county is served by PECO.
PECO price to compare increase June 2026 raised residential rates 5% from June 2026: about $7 to $9 a month on a $160 bill. The order is meant to keep new data centers from pushing their power costs onto residential electric bills by requiring developers to pay for all of their own electricity. This does not change anyone's electric rate directly, but it is meant to stop the cost of new substations and power lines built for data centers from being added to everyone else's bill.
PECO's residential price to compare, the default electric supply rate for customers who do not shop for a competitive supplier, rose from about 11.024 cents to about 11.572 cents per kilowatt hour on June 1, 2026, an increase of roughly 5 percent. The increase followed the 2025/2026 PJM capacity auction, where prices in some parts of the grid surged more than 800 percent, driven partly by plant retirements and growing data center demand. The rate had already risen from about 10.40 cents in June 2025, so the two increases compound to roughly an 11 percent rise over one year.
