Plan Unveiled for AI Data Center at Former Titus Power Plant Site

AI data center proposed for old Titus power plant site. Plans are underway for the new facility.
A proposed artificial intelligence data center is set to be built on the site of the former Titus power plant in Cumru Township, Pennsylvania. Developers Titus Development Co. and Go Energy Group plan to transform the 196-acre site into a large artificial intelligence and digital infrastructure campus. This move is part of a growing trend to repurpose old industrial sites for AI data centers, which require significant power capacity to operate.
The proposal is significant as it highlights the increasing demand for AI data centers, which are essential for training and deploying large language models. As we reported on May 15, the AI stack for 2026 includes LLMs, vector databases, and tool calling, all of which require substantial computing power. The use of former industrial sites like the Titus power plant can help reduce the environmental impact of building new data centers from scratch.
As the proposal moves forward, it will be important to watch how the developers plan to address concerns around power consumption and environmental sustainability. The use of carbon capture technology, as seen in other recent data center proposals, may be a key factor in mitigating the site's environmental impact. With Amazon also pushing to future-proof its AI data centers through its internal "Titus" initiative, the development of this site will be closely watched by industry observers.
