A data center has been proposed in Upper Burrell, PA, at the site of the old Alcoa research facility. According to TECfusions, the developer, this data center could eventually consume up to 3 GW of electricity—more electricity than produced by solar in the entire state of Pennsylvania. 280 MW will be pulled from West Penn Power, and additional power may come from 6 gas wells located on the property. The municipality has passed a resolution for curative amendment, which institutes a 180 day moratorium on data center applications while the municipality writes a data center ordinance.​​​
