What it would mean nearby

The cooling design has not been reported. If it uses evaporative cooling, a 100 MW facility would draw roughly 317,000 to 1.1 million gallons of water a day, about what 3,600 households use.

PPL Electric distribution base rate case settlement raised residential rates 4.9% from July 2026: about $8 to $10 a month on a $184 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.
