The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
UGI Corporation, through its subsidiary UGI Energy Services, LLC (UGIES), and Prime Data Centers, LLC (Prime), an international developer and owner of hyperscale data centers, today announced a strategic partnership to develop natural gas supply infrastructure in Pennsylvania’s northern tier, in support of the development of, "one of Pennsylvania’s largest AI and high-performance computing facilities".
Under a purchase and sale agreement, UGI Energy Services will sell, to Prime, property to build a proposed on-site gas-fueled electric generation facility. UGI will retain approximately 15 billion cubic feet of underground storage capacity, and oil and gas rights associated with the property. The project is expected to support on-site energy resilience and long-duration capacity for future data center operations, the companies said
Prime’s natural gas demand is expected to exceed 100,000 dekatherms per day within three to five years
"This is a significant milestone for UGI Energy Services and a strong fit for our midstream capabilities, where we anticipate that our planned investment could be in excess of $100 million. We're proud to partner with Prime Data Centers, and as energy demands continue to grow, the northern tier's direct access to locally produced natural gas and multiple interstate pipeline systems makes this a well-positioned project," said Joseph Hartz, President, UGI Energy Services.
