UPPER BURRELL DATA CENTER TO GO LIVE BY END OF YEAR

A data center in Upper Burrell will go live by the end of the year.  The Trib reports that the TECfusions Data Center is on the former Alcoa Research Center. TECfusions plans to use natural gas already available at the site to power the center.  Company officials say there wouldn’t be any effect to the energy grid and prices because the center will generate its own power through natural gas wells on site.  The company is working through 10 contracts it has received and plans to have operations live before 2026.
