Fit Energy announces Newport Township fuel cell data center project

Fit Energy has announced plans for a fuel cell power generation and data center project in Newport Township, Pennsylvania, following zoning approval in August 2026.

• The project is planned on about 1,386 acres of former mined and quarried land in Luzerne County; engineering and remaining permitting are underway ahead of construction, and power is planned to combine utility-grid electricity with on-site natural gas fuel cells supplied by FuelCell Energy, Inc.
• Fit Energy says the project will include investment in power, natural gas, water, and sewer infrastructure; it also said a public information session will be held later, with the date, time, and location to be announced on newportdatacenter.com.
