Keel Panther Creek Campus is a 336-acre site at the Panther Creek waste coal-fired power plant, 4 Dennison Road, Nesquehoning, Carbon County, Pennsylvania. The plant hosted bitcoin mining until Keel, formerly Bitfarms, decommissioned all U.S. mining in 2026 to build an HPC and AI campus. Keel lists 350 MW of secured capacity. The Carbon Node East plan calls for four data center buildings totaling 618,921 square feet off Industrial Road. Zoning and conditional land development approvals are secured, and environmental permits are pending.
