Three companies – Liberty Energy, Imperial Land Corporation and Range Resources – Appalachia – said they have formed an alliance to support development of a state-of-the-art power generation facility in Washington County.

The proposed power generation facility – the Fort Cherry Development District in Robinson Township – is expected to help the area attract data centers and industrial operations seeking long-term, reliable and efficient energy solutions using lower emission power generation systems and Marcellus natural gas.

“Liberty is revolutionizing how industries meet their energy needs with our ability to rapidly deploy reliable, scalable distributed power solutions. Our approach combines low-emissions power generation and technology with industry-leading service and support, all strategically located at a site with abundant natural gas resources,” Ron Gusek, president and CEO of Liberty Energy, said. “As the demand for power intensifies, our innovative approach empowers clients to confidently expand their operations without compromising on efficiency or reliability. We’re proud to be setting a new standard in energy deployment through this collaboration.”

The collaboration will leverage the companies’ experience in the region with the state’s commitment to innovation and investment in the energy sector.

“This collaboration represents an exciting opportunity to foster industrial growth in the region while leveraging Pennsylvania’s vast natural resources for innovative, reliable, energy solutions,” Brian Temple, president at Imperial Land Corporation, said. “By working with Liberty and Range we are positioning the Fort Cherry Development District as a prime location for future industrial demand growth. This initiative is a testament to the region’s potential as an energy, technology and data center hub.”
