America's biggest planned gas plant is for a data centre. When it's operational, it'll emit the same as the old coal plant. That's because even though it generates more energy, the new data centre demands so much of it that emissions remain just as high. blog.gridstatus.io/hype-or-hype...
Prior to the shale revolution, Homer City coal ran at a relatively high capacity factor. In 2008, Homer City had a 73% capacity factor with fairly consistent generation across seasons. That higher capacity factor allowed the plant to generate 12.11 TWh, while emitting an estimated 12.6 million tons of CO2. The Homer City Gas plant, with a 4.4 GW nameplate capacity, and running at an estimated 85% capacity factor (in line with both efficient plants but also data center load factors) with a 6.7 heat rate, would produce 32.76 TWh in the same year, emitting slightly more CO2, 12.84 million tons.

Revised Project Narrative: Homer City Energy Campus
The Homer City Energy Campus represents a once-in-a
-generation opportunity to transform former
coal-fired power generation land in Indiana County,
Pennsylvania into one of the nation's premier digi
tal
infrastructure and energy hubs. Amazon Data Service
s, Inc. (“AWS”) proposes to acquire approximately
1,100 acres situated in Center and Blacklick Townsh
ips (collectively, the “Townships”), Indiana County
(the
“County”), and to develop an integrated data center
campus across six sites: Bruner, Helen, Green, Wes
t,
Harvey/Gaston, and Rura (the “Project”). When fully
constructed, the Project will include 36 data cent
ers
together with ancillary office and storage space, e
lectrical substation infrastructure, occupied and
unoccupied security features, and redundant electri
cal generation.
The Project will be a significant economic engine f
or Indiana County and the surrounding region.
At full build-out, AWS anticipates the project will
create approximately 1,500 to 2,000 new full-time
jobs,
with average salaries ranging from $80,000 to $100,
000. The majority of these positions require up to
an
associate’s degree. AWS is committed to investing i
n local talent and anticipates partnering with Indi
ana
County’s colleges, career and technical education p
rograms, and high schools to develop workforce
pipelines, mirroring successful programs AWS has la
unched in other Pennsylvania communities.
The AWS data center campus is a key component of a
broader Energy Campus vision being
advanced in partnership with Homer City Redevelopme
nt (“HCR”). HCR is actively redeveloping the former
Homer City Generating Station, once one of the larg
est coal-fired power plants in the eastern United S
tates,
into a modern energy and technology campus. The Pro

Not enough people know about Homer City. The single largest fossil fuel plant that's being built *explicitly* to power a data centre. This isn't a future projection, or some hollow marketing. This is physical stuff happening right now. bsky.app/profile/keta...
a screenshot of a tableWhen the Homer City power plant—the largest coal-fired facility in Pennsylvania—shuttered in 2023, it marked the end of a dirty era for the coal plants that dominated America’s electric grid for over half a century. Now, in a whirlwind turnaround, many of them are being revived to fuel the AI era.

Earlier this year, developers announced they would take the coal plant’s corpse—and its invaluable grid interconnections—and resurrect it into the Homer City Energy Campus, a sprawling AI data center complex powered by the largest natural gas-fired power plant in the country, opening on a fast-tracked timeline in 2027.

With U.S. electricity demand projected to surge by as much as 60% through 2050 to fuel the AI boom—initiating a race against time to build sufficient power generation—the strong old bones of closed or retiring coal plants offer a shortcut to get new power projects online much more quickly. They can skip the two-year queue for high-voltage grid connections—regardless of whether these projects are for gas, wind, solar, geothermal, or even new-age nuclear.
