Compute Workload

This panel tracks what the facility is for without assuming that every project is AI training, inference, or cloud capacity.

Undisclosed / unknownUnknown

No source-backed workload, customer, hardware, or training/inference allocation is attached to this record yet.

Workload classification remains unknown in the reviewed record.

Public Money

No public funding record attached yet. Local subsidy, tax-abatement, land, bond, and utility records need follow-up.

Water

Source review September 9, 2026: the reviewed city planning materials and PowerConneX notices do not disclose a facility water source, cooling method, withdrawal permit, wastewater capacity, or operating-use quantity. Those remain unresolved.

Power

Source review September 9, 2026: New Albany identifies PowerConneX as natural-gas-fired generation intended to supply EdgeConneX data-center operations; the first phase received an Ohio Power Siting Board construction certificate and construction began in September 2025. The dataset's 120–766 MW remains an unreconciled project/power range, not confirmed requested, approved, energized, generation, or data-center IT-load capacity for this record.

Bloom / Fuel Cells

No fuel-cell or Bloom Energy source is attached to this project yet.

NDA / Secrecy
