Pennsylvania Power & Light and Blackstone Launch Joint Venture to Expand Natural Gas-Fired Power Generation Pennsylvania Power & Light (PPL) and global investment firm Blackstone have formed a joint venture to expand natural gas-fired power generation in Pennsylvania, directly responding to the growing demand for electricity from the proliferation of hyperscale data centers.
