PPL land deal in Archbald, Upvalley paves way for massive data center power plants
A joint venture between PPL Corp. and Blackstone Infrastructure has secured over 7,000 acres in northern Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, to explore building two massive natural gas power plants for data centers. The plan has drawn significant opposition from local officials and residents concerned about environmental impact and overdevelopment. While the venture states plans are preliminary, it has filed interconnection requests for the power plants.
