TECfusions, an AI infrastructure company focusing on next-generation data centers, said their data center in New Kensington, Pa., is live, and providing GPU capacity to support advanced artificial intelligence and high-performance computing workloads.
TECfusions, and its partner Apex Treasury Corp, a special acquisition company, said the New Kensington development approach is in line with the principles established in the Governor’s Responsible Infrastructure Development (GRID) requirements, set forth in an executive order by Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro this year.
The executive order establishes standards for data center projects related to energy affordability, transparent community engagement, workforce and economic development, and environmental protection, as well as requiring large data center developers to obtain permitting pathway to make legally enforceable commitments, including those that require the company to bear the cost of new power infrastructure needed to serve them rather than shifting those costs to other ratepayers.
“Pennsylvania has set a clear standard: data center development must be real, responsible and accountable to the communities in which it operates,” Simon Tusha, founder of TECfusions, said. “New Kensington reflects that philosophy. We are already delivering GPU capacity, and our strategy is centered on securing and developing the power, infrastructure and operational capabilities required to support AI at scale. The barriers to entry are substantial, particularly around power, permitting, capital and execution, and TECfusions is well positioned to meet them with a compliant, infrastructure-first model.”
Located nearly 30 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, the site is an adaptive-reuse data center development designed for rapid deployment, high-density computing and long-term scale. The site is currently powered by turbines, and its future power plan includes dual utility and on-site microgrid generation supported by existing site infrastructure, including two fracking pads and a gas-drying plant. The site is planned to scale up to 3 gigawatts of total capacity.
“Bringing New Kensington online is a meaningful milestone for TECfusions and for customers seeking real, deployable GPU infrastructure,” Denis Minihane, CEO of TECfusions, said. “The market’s greatest constraint is increasingly power-ready capacity. Our New Kensington site is designed to address that constraint through high-density, AI-ready infrastructure and a thoughtful on-site power strategy that supports reliability, deployment speed and scalable growth.”
