Aligned Shippingport Data Center Campus (Project Phoenix)
Aligned Data Centers (filed as Frontier Group of Companies). Approved
Aligned Data Centers wants to build up to three large data center buildings totaling almost 2 million square feet at the old Bruce Mansfield coal plant site along the Ohio River, land owned by the Frontier Group of Companies. Shippingport Borough Council approved a conditional use permit for the plan, but the project still needs grading, stormwater and other state permits before construction can begin. Some coverage describes an eventual buildout as large as several gigawatts, well beyond what has been approved so far.

What it would mean nearby
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. This is the overall statewide trend behind the individual utility price to compare increases: the average Pennsylvania household's total electric bill grew by roughly a fifth between 2024 and 2026.
