The mega-plant is set to land near Pittsburgh in Fayette County, and will include three combined-cycle facilities. It’s expected to hit the strained PJM grid in phases from 2030-2032.
Where’s all that cash coming from? “This project is fully funded by President Trump’s trade deal with Japan to support new power generation,” wrote Fayette County Commissioner Scott Dunn on LinkedIn. “Your electric bills are not paying for this.”
While we’re on mega-deals: Singaporean manufacturing firm Flex is reportedly paying $4.4B to acquire EPC Power, a California-based company that makes power conversion equipment for data centers, storage, and microgrids. Clearly, US-manufactured electric infrastructure now comes with a major premium as the White House cracks down on tech imports.
