Aligned Data Centers has proposed a new campus, 'Project Phoenix', in Shippingport, Beaver County, next to the decommissioned Bruce Mansfield coal power plant. The Shippingport Council has granted zoning modifications, but the project must still meet noise limit regulations and obtain building permits.

If successful, it could become one of the largest data centers in Southwestern Pennsylvania, generating high-quality jobs. Frontier Group is investing up to $3.2 billion to convert the plant to natural gas, which may later supply power to the data centers.

Initial power will come from separate natural gas generators. Community response has been minimal, with only four residents attending a recent meeting.
