Aligned Project Phoenix 2 GW AI Data Center Shippingport PA USA
Status: Under Construction / Groundbroken | Location: Shippingport Industrial Park, Church Lane, MacArthur, PA 15001, USA
Project Overview
Aligned Project Phoenix, situated within the approximately 850-acre Shippingport Industrial Park in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, is a large-scale AI infrastructure development designed to transform a former industrial power-generation site into a modern high-density computing hub. Developed by Aligned Data Centers, the project leverages the former Bruce Mansfield coal-fired power station site and its existing industrial infrastructure to support the growing demand for artificial intelligence, machine learning, high-performance computing, and large language model workloads. The brownfield redevelopment approach enables the project to repurpose strategically located industrial land and existing utility infrastructure while establishing new mission-critical facilities optimized for advanced computing applications. Project Phoenix is envisioned as a scalable, multi-phase campus capable of supporting substantial power requirements associated with next-generation GPU clusters and other accelerated computing systems. Its design is expected to incorporate high-density data halls, advanced power distribution, sophisticated cooling technologies, resilient connectivity, and modular infrastructure that can accommodate evolving AI compute requirements. The site's proximity to established transmission infrastructure and the broader Pittsburgh-region technology ecosystem further enhances its suitability for large-scale digital infrastructure. By converting a retired coal-power generation location into an AI-focused data center campus, Project Phoenix illustrates how former energy and industrial properties can be repositioned to support the rapidly expanding digital economy. The development is particularly significant as AI workloads require considerably greater power density and cooling capacity than conventional enterprise computing. With its large land footprint, industrial heritage, and potential for substantial power deployment, Aligned Project Phoenix is positioned to become an important regional destination for hyperscale AI and HPC workloads while demonstrating a broader transition from traditional power infrastructure toward next-generation digital computing.
