In Lower Mount Bethel Township, Pennsylvania, a 1.2 GW, $5 billion Talen Energy campus stalled after township officials signed NDAs with the development team before public disclosure, creating a credibility gap next to a Delaware River watershed serving 14 million people.
AEP has threatened to exit, Pennsylvania has threatened to withdraw, and Talen just cleared FERC and Indiana approvals to close its $3.45 billion buy of 2.6 GW of gas generation across Lawrenceburg, Waterford, and Darby, positioning owned baseload for hyperscale offtake in western PJM.
