1547’s greenfield development site in Pennsylvania touts an initial commitment of 290 MW of power from the local provider, including access to carbon-free power capabilities to be available by 2025-2026. Onsite green energy solutions include rooftop solar with potential generation of up to 7 MW of capacity scalable to 25 MW. The combination of available power, accessibility to carbon-free power generation and solar capabilities offers a unique opportunity for companies eager to construct smarter and greener mass-scale data center developments.
“What makes this location optimal for hyperscale development, besides the power capacity and carbon-free power capabilities we offer, is also the financial incentives,” comments John Bonczek, Chief Revenue Officer for 1547 Realty. “Chester County has some of the best incentives available for large-scale compute infrastructure deployments including the fact that we qualify for the state’s sales tax that applies to all data center developments and includes all construction equipment, materials, data center furnishings, fit-out and IT equipment. This combined with the immense amount of power and proximity to unique power sources, including nuclear energy capabilities, is a game-changer for new mass-scale developments in the region.”
