Keel Infrastructure: Panther Creek HPC/AI DC

Year Planned: 2028
Utility Provider: PPL Electric Utilities
Lot Size: 201 acres

Carbon Node East is a planned four-building data center campus along Industrial Road in Nesquehoning, Carbon County, next to the Panther Creek waste-coal power plant where Keel Infrastructure, formerly Bitfarms, used to mine Bitcoin. The plans call for about 940,000 sq ft of buildings and two new substations, built in two construction phases. PPL Electric Utilities has contracted firm power for the campus, and Keel is studying an expansion. Keel expects to start construction in 2027 once three state environmental permits are issued, and it has not named a tenant.

  • June 2026: Nesquehoning Borough approves the sewage planning module.
