PowerHouse Data Centers and Pennsylvania Data Center Partners announced a $15 billion joint venture, Pennsylvania Digital I (PAX), comprising three hyperscale campuses around Carlisle, delivering 1.35 GW of capacity with expandability up to 1.8 GW across ~700 acres. Each of the three campuses features six buildings and a dedicated 450 MW substation. As of early 2026, the project has cleared key milestones: water and sewer rights were secured in January 2026 via a $14.1 million agreement with Middlesex Township, and on March 4, 2026, the Middlesex Township Board of Supervisors unanimously approved construction of the first 450 MW substation, clearing the way for Phase 1-b construction of the first data center to begin. The project is expected to generate more than $65 million in direct tax revenue, with over $45 million allocated to the Cumberland Valley school district and local community.
Linde Corporation, a NEPA-headquartered infrastructure contractor, is proposing a 682-acre, 20-building data center campus on a ~743-acre parcel the company owns off Route 247 and Flat Rock Road in Clinton Township. The original application was made on April 30th, the same day that the Board of Supervisors voted to enact a 6 month moratorium. On June 3rd, the Clinton Township Planning Commission declared the application incomplete, requiring Linde to resubmit a corrected application, which was later accepted on July 1st. In early September 2026, the proposal was rejected by the Clinton Township Board of Supervisors. \n Clinton Township is unique in that it does not have zoning, but instead relies on Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance (SALDO) as a tool to regulate land development.
