KEEL Infrastructure Carbon County PA — A Vote Nobody Is Watching. Until Now.
Tomorrow at 2:00 PM ET, the Carbon County Planning Commission convenes at 44 Susquehanna Street, Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania.
On the agenda: a vote on the Panther Creek project — a 350MW power generation facility connected to the PJM grid. The applicant is backed Keel Infrastructure, formerly Bitfarms.

The Research
The Carbon County PA Government YouTube channel published its March 17, 2026 planning commission meeting:
At the 28-minute mark, something appears on screen that doesn’t belong at a small Pennsylvania county meeting — at least not for a minor project.
On Zoom:
Carolyn McGee of Nelson Mullins — one of the largest energy infrastructure law firms in the United States. They handle major power generation, transmission, and regulatory matters. They don’t travel to Jim Thorpe for speculative applications.
T5 Data Centers — a major data center and power infrastructure developer with projects across North America. Their presence confirms this is not a conceptual proposal. T5 builds things.
A full consultant team representing the Panther Creek application.
At that March meeting, a motion was made to table the matter to the next scheduled meeting.
That meeting is tomorrow. April 21, 2026. 2:00 PM ET.
What Panther Creek Is
350 megawatts of power generation capacity. PJM-connected — meaning it feeds directly into the largest wholesale electricity market in the United States, serving 65 million people across 13 states and the District of Columbia.
This is not a local utility project. PJM interconnection is institutional infrastructure. The kind of project that attracts Nelson Mullins and T5 Data Centers.
The Panther Creek site has history — it sits on former coal mining land in Carbon County, Pennsylvania. The location, the PJM connection, and the scale suggest a power project designed to serve the data center and AI infrastructure buildout happening across the Mid-Atlantic corridor.
Why The Market Hasn’t Priced This In
KEEL Infrastructure (formerly Bitfarms) is a bitcoin mining company transitioning into power infrastructure.
The March 17 planning commission meeting had 36 views on YouTube. Tomorrow’s vote hasn’t been covered by a single financial publication. There are no analyst notes. No press releases. No social media chatter.
The only public record of this application is a Zoom recording uploaded to a government YouTube channel that almost nobody watches.
That’s the dislocation.
What Happens Tomorrow
Carbon County Planning Commission. 44 Susquehanna Street, Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. 2:00 PM ET.
The commission votes on the Panther Creek application. Two outcomes:
Approval — 350MW PJM-connected project moves forward with institutional legal and construction backing already in place. The market reprices KEEL.
Denial or further tabling — application continues through the regulatory process. Nelson Mullins doesn’t walk away from projects this size on a single vote.
Either way, this vote happens tomorrow and the market doesn’t know it’s coming.
The Carbon County PA Government YouTube channel will upload the meeting recording after it concludes. We’ll be watching.
