How Pittsburgh Can Win the Data Center and Energy Boom
Interview by Audrey Russo and Jonathan Kersting
Are data centers really creating jobs in Pennsylvania and the Pittsburgh Region?
Brian Kennedy of the Pittsburgh Technology Council joins TechVibe this Sunday to unpack the new Data Center and Energy study and reveal why the answer is much bigger than most people think. This conversation explores how Pennsylvania is positioned to win across the full value chain by building and hosting data centers, producing power, and manufacturing critical components for the grid and digital infrastructure.
Kennedy shares eye-opening numbers, including $29 billion in exports tied to data center operations and the state’s standing as the nation’s top electricity exporter, while making the case that this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for workers, manufacturers, and communities across the region.
