Liberty Energy Inc., Imperial Land Corporation, and Range Resources to Support Strategic Energy Development in Washington County, Pennsylvania

• April 8, 2025

Liberty Energy Inc. (“Liberty”), Imperial Land Corporation (“ILC”), and Range Resources – Appalachia, LLC (“Range”) today announced a strategic alliance to support the development of a state-of-the-art power generation facility within the Fort Cherry Development District in Robinson Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania.  

The strategic collaboration between Liberty, ILC, and Range will focus on a dedicated power generation facility tailored to meet the energy demands of data centers, industrial facilities, and other high-energy-use businesses in Pennsylvania. This initiative, which is being advanced by companies with proven experience in the region, aligns with Pennsylvania’s commitment to fostering innovation and investment in the energy sector.  

The proposed power facility is expected to serve as a catalyst for attracting data centers and industrial operations seeking long-term, reliable, efficient energy solutions, utilizing modular, scalable, lower emissions power generation systems and Marcellus natural gas, which has an advantaged emissions profile versus other basins in the U.S.  

“Liberty is revolutionizing how industries meet their energy needs with our ability to rapidly deploy reliable, scalable distributed power solutions.  Our approach combines low-emissions power generation and technology with industry-leading service and support, all strategically located at a site with abundant natural gas resources,” said Ron Gusek, President and CEO of Liberty Energy.  “As the demand for power intensifies, our innovative approach empowers clients to confidently expand their operations without compromising on efficiency or reliability.  We’re proud to be setting a new standard in energy deployment through this collaboration.” 

“This collaboration represents an exciting opportunity to foster industrial growth in the region while leveraging Pennsylvania’s vast natural resources for innovative, reliable, energy solutions,” said Brian Temple, President at Imperial Land Corporation. “By working with Liberty and Range we are positioning the Fort Cherry Development District as a prime location for future industrial demand growth. This initiative is a testament to the region’s potential as an energy, technology and data center hub.” 

Alan Engberg, Range’s VP Marketing & Midstream commented: “Range is excited to power this growing wave of technology and manufacturing opportunities. With our vast Marcellus inventory, Range is well-positioned to meet the environmental and reliability standards and decades-long supply requirements of a data center client. This initiative with Imperial Land and Liberty provides an attractive site for a scalable data center or large industrial tenant by virtue of being ideally situated adjacent to the heart of Range’s existing natural gas production, in close proximity to the Ohio River, the City of Pittsburgh and a newly renovated international airport.”  

“The collaboration among Liberty, ILC, and Range exemplifies a unified effort to address Pennsylvania’s evolving energy needs by leveraging our region’s readily available natural gas while promoting stable, long-term industrial development and economic growth,” said Stefani Pashman, CEO of the Allegheny Conference on Community Development. “This strategic development will help to attract data centers and industrial operations to our region, bringing with it economic impacts for years to come.”
