Aligned: Shippingport PIT-01

Short Code: Project Phoenix
Year Planned: 2029
Floors: 2
Lot Size: 651 acres

PIT-01 is building 1 of 3 at Aligned Data Centers' Shippingport campus, known as Project Phoenix, in the Shippingport Industrial Park, the former Bruce Mansfield coal plant site in Beaver County. The plan calls for three two-story data center buildings of 672,924, 638,000 and 638,000 sq ft plus a 147,000 sq ft warehouse and office building. The campus will run on its own power: its state air permit application covers solid oxide fuel cells fed by a new National Fuel Gas lateral, with diesel generators for emergencies. The Frontier Group is separately converting the old plant site into a gas-fired power station.
