Project Gold Data Center

High-priority Project Gold / Gouldsboro Data Center proposal across Clifton and Covington townships. Covington records and WVIA document a proposed 1.5 GW utility/project context, a reduced five-building settlement plan, and continuing zoning litigation; the end user remains undisclosed and the figure is not confirmed IT load or energized capacity.

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

Source lead: dataset project_cost field reports $10 billion, while DCD reported attorney Tony Maras described a possible $14.25 billion-plus investment. Incentives, abatements, infrastructure-cost sharing, and public-authority agreements still need review.

Water

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: WVIA reports the January zoning settlement required sewage and wastewater disposal outside Clifton Township, while earlier settlement materials described nonpublic wells and developer-paid sewer upgrades. The reviewed sources disclose no water volume, service contract, withdrawal permit, or wastewater capacity.

Power

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: Covington Township minutes record the developer's presentation of a data-center complex and a PPL commitment to provide 1.5 GW of power; WVIA reports the later zoning settlement abandoned nuclear and cycle-gas generation on the southeast campus and required reduced backup-generator impacts. The dataset's 1,500 MW remains reported planned utility/project-scale context, not confirmed requested, approved, energized, generation, or data-center IT-load capacity.
