Data center Firms Plan $90bn Investment in Pennsylvania

Data center and energy firms have pledged to invest $90 billion in the US state of Pennsylvania to help build out its digital infrastructure following a summit attended by President Donald Trump. The first Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit was held on Tuesday, with Trump and state senator Dave McCormick hosting executives and investors from the US and beyond.

Senator McCormick said: “As the nation’s second-largest energy producer and a global nuclear power leader, Pennsylvania is uniquely positioned to deliver the abundant, affordable energy that growing AI and advanced manufacturing sectors demand.

“We have the skilled workforce to build and operate this critical infrastructure, world-class universities driving innovation, and strategic proximity to over half the country’s population. I am proud to partner with President Trump and the business leaders here today to drive a new era of industrial growth that helps make America energy dominant while creating jobs and opportunities for working families across Pennsylvania.”
