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.

Data Fields

Source leads point to attached records or reporting. They still need field-level review before being treated as verified evidence.

Public Money

Source lead: WRDW reported tax breaks and utility costs were among the issues raised during public discussion of the Columbia County data center proposals. Project-specific subsidy, tax-abatement, bond, land, and infrastructure records still need local review.

Water

Amazon's Adams County project page says cooling water would come from the Ohio River at a projected approximately 19.7 million gallons per year, with domestic water capped at 40,000 gallons per day from Adams County Regional Water District. These are company/project estimates; final permits, discharge conditions, and operating use remain open.

Power

PJM's Dayton-2026-001 supplemental filing describes an AES Ohio customer request near the Stuart Substation ramping from 100 MW in November 2028 to 1,300 MW in March 2032. The existing 400-1100 MW dataset range remains an attributed project/load lead; the filing describes requested new load and does not establish approved, energized, generation, or IT-load capacity.

Bloom / Fuel Cells

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