• International Electric Power is planning to develop a 944-MW behind-the-meter, gas-fired plant to power a data center being developed in Greene County, Pennsylvania, according to a project partner’s Wednesday announcement. The data center will be “supplemented by battery storage and back up from an existing interconnection with the electric grid,” the companies said.
• IEP is a privately held thermal and renewable power developer. Essential Utilities, a publicly-held company, informed the Securities and Exchange Commission it would be investing $26 million in the project to develop a water treatment facility for the power plant and data center.
• Greene County Chairman Jared Edgreen told Utility Dive the county is aware of the project and sees it as “a large step forward. … We need to diversify what we have in the county,” he said. “Energy is at a premium.”
