Proposed Campuses·Pennsylvania·updated September 9, 2026

Homer City Energy Campus

Center Township · Homer-Center SD · Indiana County·Homer City Redevelopment (Knighthead), with Kiewit building

Size: 4.4 GW of on-site generation to serve data centers
Taxable real estate (our method): $44 billion
Estimated annual tax: +$1.1 billion a year; City, school, and county combined, at today’s millage, if the campus is assessed at our $10 million/MW method.

Construction underway

Kiewit reported ~1,200 workers on site in April 2026. Seven GE Vernova 7HA.02 turbines, country’s largest gas plant, built to power on-site hyperscale data centers.

Site

3,200 acres · former coal plant

Power

Tax impact

What this could add at today’s millage

$44 billion taxable

if data halls take most of the 4.4 GW

4.4 GW generation capacity · power start 2028 · $10M/MW method

Center Township

Current base $273M

Homer-Center School District

Current base $346M

Indiana County

Current base $4.8B

Note: 4.4 GW is generation capacity for the on-site plant, not a signed IT lease. If data halls eventually take most of that power, $10M/MW method → ~$44B taxable buildings. Plus whatever the county assesses on the new power plant itself.

Old coal plant was a few percent of school budget. Even a slice of this campus would rewrite township + district.
