Homer City Energy Campus
Homer City Redevelopment LLC. Approved, 4500 MW
A decommissioned coal power plant in Center Township is being redeveloped into a huge natural gas fueled campus meant to power a large AI data center complex, with EQT Corporation lined up to supply the gas. Pennsylvania's environmental agency approved the air quality permit for the gas plant in November 2025 after a faster than usual review. As of mid 2026 the company says it is still lining up data center tenants and construction of the data halls themselves has not started.

What it would mean nearby
The cooling design has not been reported. If it uses evaporative cooling, a 4500 MW facility would draw roughly 14.3 million to 51.4 million gallons of water a day, about what 164,100 households use.
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.
