Pennsylvania's natural gas power capacity is expected to grow by at least 15% by 2030, largely driven by rising electricity demand from data centers, with major proposed gas plants in development to meet this demand. This growth coincides with a significant increase in new gas drilling and reflects a broader national trend of expanding gas-fired power capacity, raising regulatory and environmental challenges.
