Wildcat Ridge is a proposed data center campus near Archbald in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. County materials describe roughly 574 acres, 14 two-story data center buildings and a large backup-generator fleet, but no end user has been identified and local conditional-use review remains active. The tracked 1.6 GW figure is not verified as operating or contracted capacity and is withheld. Land-use approval, air permits, power, water, customer, financing and construction timing remain unresolved.
