Provider notes
Energy. Redevelopment of the former Homer City coal plant (Pennsylvania's largest, demolished 2023–25) into what developers call the largest US natural-gas plant powering an on-site AI data-center campus — seven GE Vernova 7HA.02 turbines cited at 'up to 4.4–4.7 GW' (a ceiling; no confirmed point value). EQT is to supply Marcellus gas; first power is targeted for 2027. PA DEP issued the air-quality plan approval on Nov 20, 2025. Developers describe the redevelopment site as spanning more than 3,200 acres.
Water. A legacy 1,800-acre reservoir (Two Lick) remains available for cooling; NPDES permit PAD320011 (June 2026) covers Two Lick Creek outfalls. No cooling-water volume (MGD) is disclosed.
Community. A strong local-revival narrative (an economic anchor after the 2023 coal-plant closure, backed by state officials) meets organized environmental opposition — the air permit drew 500+ comments and Clean Air Council opposition citing ~17M tons CO2e/year, potentially Pennsylvania's largest single pollution source. Developers project ~10,000 construction and ~1,000 permanent jobs.
