Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of August 31, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Talen Energy Montour Data Center Campus in Washingtonville, Montour County, Pennsylvania appears in the sources this registry tracks. That is an absence in our sources rather than a finding that none exists, and local opposition often predates any coverage a national dataset would pick up.

If you live near this site and something is happening that this page does not show, that is worth telling us. Send us the document and it goes in the record with the source attached. For sites where opposition is already established, see every contested site we track.

Power and water

Sited beside Talen's Montour plant. DEP published notice in the August 22, 2026 PA Bulletin of an air-quality plan approval application to add two 655 MW turbine generation units at Montour 'to feed A.I. data centers'; comments were due September 21, 2026.

Notes on the record

Talen is seeking to rezone approximately 1,000 acres in northern Montour County from agricultural to industrial; the company anticipates about a dozen buildings, each on two to three acres. Acreage figure is the rezoning request area, not a confirmed campus footprint, so no landAcres value is recorded. The request has drawn substantial local opposition over land use, pollution, water and noise. No tenant has been named.

Power capacity in megawatts
The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
Cooling method and water use
The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
Permanent jobs promised
The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
Land area
The rezoning application, the plat, or the deed recorded with the county.
How the community has received it
Planning commission and governing body minutes, public comment records, and any petition or lawsuit filed in the county.
Which utility serves it
The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.
