PPL Electric Utilities Transmission Expansion Project

planned

PPL Electric Utilities is undertaking a major transmission expansion project in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, to support growing demand from data centres. The project includes new lines, switchyards, and a substation planned to support the Archbald area. It aims to supply electricity to several proposed data centre campuses and improve reliability for residential customers. The infrastructure is linked to multiple data centre developments, including large industrial campuses and multi-building facilities. Large-load customers will fund much of the new infrastructure, which could improve system flexibility and potentially reduce transmission costs for customers.
