Dynamo DC Springdale Data Center
Dynamo DC (filed as Allegheny Property). Approved
A developer bought the former Cheswick Generating Station, a coal plant along the Allegheny River, for 14.3 million dollars and plans a 565,000 square foot hyperscale data center there. Springdale Borough Council approved a conditional use permit for the project in a 5 to 2 vote in December 2025 despite residents raising concerns about noise and the amount of power it would draw, equal to more than 140,000 homes. No one spoke in favor of the project at the public hearing before the vote.

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.
