Data center proposal in Union and Lycoming counties prompts concerns over new transmission line

A proposed data center by PNK Group in Gregg Township, Union County, Pennsylvania, necessitates a new 230,000-volt transmission line from PPL Electric, sparking strong opposition from local farmers and residents in both Union and Lycoming counties. Critics argue the project is not for the public good and question who will ultimately bear the costs for infrastructure primarily benefiting a private entity. The transmission line's construction is directly contingent on the data center's progression, with a route selection decision expected soon.
