EQT to Supply Natural Gas for Data Center Campus in Pennsylvania
(P&GJ) — Homer City Redevelopment (HCR) has reached an agreement in principle with EQT Corporation to supply natural gas to the Homer City Energy Campus, a planned 3,200-acre AI and high-performance computing data center campus in Pennsylvania.
The project, set to begin producing power in 2027, will include a 4.4 GW natural gas–fired generation facility, converting the site of Pennsylvania’s largest retired coal plant into a next-generation energy and data infrastructure hub.
Under the deal, EQT will serve as the exclusive gas supplier to the project, providing supply through both the Texas Eastern Transmission and Eastern Gas Transmission & Storage pipeline systems. This will create a high level of redundancy and supply security for the site.
According to the companies, the project could unlock up to 665,000 MMBtu/day of natural gas supply, making it one of the largest single-site gas transactions in North America.
“EQT is synonymous with Pennsylvania energy and American innovation, and we are thrilled to have them as a partner for this project,” said Corey Hessen, CEO of Homer City Redevelopment. “This agreement ensures long-term energy security for the data center campus, while demonstrating our commitment to powering the future with Pennsylvania gas, Pennsylvania power and ultimately, Pennsylvania data centers.”
“This project is a win for Pennsylvania and for America. We are proud to be named the exclusive partner to provide the energy needed to power the Homer City Energy Campus and the future of AI,” said Toby Z. Rice, President and CEO of EQT.
GE Vernova will supply seven high-efficiency 7HA.02 natural gas turbines, with deliveries set to begin in 2026. Kiewit Power Constructors Co. is leading engineering, procurement, and construction.
Project financing is led by Knighthead Capital Management, which has held equity positions in Homer City for nearly eight years.
