Homer City Energy Campus

Indiana, Pennsylvania, United StatesPreconstruction

Headline capacity: Not established in published records
Updated: Oct 28, 2026

Homer City’s operator reports that power-campus vertical construction began in April 2026, excavation was completed in June, and subsequently reported equipment installation. These milestones concern power infrastructure and do not establish completed data halls or an identified tenant. Homer City Redevelopment is converting the former Homer City coal-power site in Indiana County, Pennsylvania into an energy and data center campus. The developer’s plan centers on up to 4.4 GW of new natural-gas generation using seven GE Vernova turbines, with Kiewit as EPC contractor and first power targeted for 2027. Pennsylvania DEP approved the air-quality plan in November 2025, and Knighthead Capital Management leads the redevelopment financing. The 4.4 GW figure is generation capacity, not operating IT load, and the data center tenants and phase-level IT demand remain undisclosed.
