Data Center Development in Our Region
Babst Calland is currently guiding the development of nearly 3,000 MW of new power generation capacity in data center development projects – spanning hyperscale campuses and smaller modular facilities – across Pennsylvania and West Virginia. These projects include design, permitting, power generation, interconnection and financing of both behind‑the‑meter generation assets (natural gas turbines, solar + storage, etc.) and fully islanded power systems that provide baseload, redundancy, and resiliency to support mission‑critical workloads. Our multidisciplinary legal team brings decades of experience in land use and zoning, real estate, environmental and regulatory, energy, construction, emerging technologies, and corporate law. This team leads all phases of data center development, critical to ensuring that the power infrastructure meets capacity goals while managing risk across jurisdictions, energy market types, and technology choices.
