Gigawatt-Scale Data Center Proposed in Pennyslyvania

A large data center campus is being proposed in Northeast Pennsylvania. 1778 Rich Pike LLC is aiming to develop a 1.5GW, 1,000-acre campus on either side of Interstate 380, just north of Clifton Beach Road. The project is known as the Gouldsboro Data Center in some documents.

Each building would be approximately 125,000 square feet per floor, with a maximum of three floors for up to 379,500 sq ft (35,257 sqm) per building, with the campus totaling between 4.4 million sq ft (408,773 sqm) and up to 9.4 million sq ft (873,289 sqm). The campus could be fully built over the next decade. A gas power plant would also be built, as well as at least one on-site substation.

The total project could amount to an estimated $14.25 billion-plus investment, said attorney Tony Maras, representing the developer. Quantm Group, LLC is listed as a development partner.
