32 high-efficiency natural gas engines generate approximately 85% of facility power; 6 diesel generators for backup. Proposed 1.5-million-gallon LNG storage tank as pipeline contingency (pending approval). NJDEP air permit under review as of early 2026; Sierra Club and Pinelands Alliance objecting to emissions profile. Facility located in Wellhead Protected Area near Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer.

Developer explicitly states facility will not consume water for equipment cooling (Philadelphia Inquirer, Jan 2026). A four-step exhaust reclamation system on the gas engines (selective catalytic reduction, oxy catalyst, wet scrubbers, biofilters) captures condensate from engine exhaust for recycling — this is emissions control on the power plant side, not IT-equipment cooling. City department figures show 1.1 million gallons/year municipal water draw (Inquirer, Jan 2026); a separate source (WHYY) cites 'up to 20 million gallons annually' — discrepancy unresolved, likely reflecting different accounting (total throughput vs. net municipal draw). Reporting 'reportedMgd' field omitted due to conflicting figures.

Public subsidies

Community sentiment

Mixed

City council and mayor formally support the project; PILOT Ordinance 2026-3 adopted unanimously January 27, 2026. Approximately 100 residents rallied in opposition (noise, emissions, water, property values, health concerns). Pinelands Alliance hosted community town hall. Sierra Club and Sustain South Jersey formally oppose, citing construction without final environmental permits, proximity to Pinelands, and lack of public process. NJDEP reviewing air permit and investigating facility's emissions as a single-source with adjacent parcels.
