Kyuden Energy Partners Corporation (“Kyuden”), a leading U.S. provider of energy facility operations and maintenance services, and Homer City Generation, L.P. (“HCG”), a developer transforming legacy energy infrastructure into advanced power generation assets, today announced a long-term operations and maintenance (O&M) agreement for HCG’s Homer City Energy Campus. The planned 4.4-gigawatt facility in Indiana County, Pennsylvania, is positioned to become one of the largest natural gas-fired power plants in the United States.

Built on the site of the former coal-fired Homer City Generating Station, the Homer City Energy Campus will be powered by seven GE Vernova 7HA.02 gas-fired turbines and will supply around-the-clock power to serve electricity demand that has surged in recent years. The project’s initial $10 billion capital investment for power infrastructure and site readiness makes it one of the largest such investments in Pennsylvania’s history. With more than 2,000 workers already active on the project site, the Homer City Energy Campus is expected to generate more than 10,000 direct on-site construction-related jobs over the life of the project and approximately 1,000 total direct and indirect permanent high-paying positions in technology, operations and energy infrastructure once the Homer City Energy Campus is fully operational.

“Homer City has powered Western Pennsylvania for generations, and we see tremendous opportunity to build on that legacy with a facility designed to meet tomorrow’s energy demands,” said Corey Hessen, CEO of Homer City Generation, L.P. “A project of this scale and complexity requires an operating partner with deep technical expertise and a proven track record. With decades of hands-on power generation experience and a collaborative approach, Kyuden was the clear choice to help bring our vision to life.”

Under the agreement, Kyuden will provide comprehensive O&M services that support safe and environmentally compliant operations while driving operational excellence, asset reliability and long-term commercial success. It will also support the facility’s participation in PJM Interconnection’s wholesale electricity market, which spans 13 states and the District of Columbia.

To deliver the level of reliability required for this state-of-the-art facility, Kyuden and HCG plan to build and train a dedicated on-site team and put predictive maintenance, regulatory compliance and continuous improvement practices in place from the start.

“Growing electricity demand is setting a new standard for power generation, where reliability, responsiveness and near-continuous availability are nonnegotiable,” said Tony Dabbene, CEO of Kyuden. “Achieving that at this scale requires experienced people, rigorous preparation and an operating culture anchored in safety and accountability. We’re proud to join forces with Homer City Generation in building a solid operational foundation for this project from day one.”
