Blackstone will make the investment in northeast Pennsylvania, president and COO Jon Gray said Tuesday at the Energy and Innovation Summit in Pittsburgh. Gray said "the special sauce" in the Blackstone investment will be "the idea that you can colocate the data centers directly next to the source of power."
