Proposed-site record

Pittsylvania County Data Center

High-priority blocked proposal. County records establish the denied rezoning and distinguish the proposed private generation/infrastructure package from data-center capacity; no approved utility service, energized capacity, IT load, water quantity, wastewater quantity, or public funding has been verified.

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.

Water

Project-specific water source, cooling method, withdrawal, consumption and wastewater quantities remain unresolved for Balico/Pittsylvania. The cited county web pages were unavailable during this review; water rules from another project or jurisdiction are not evidence for this facility.

Power

Source trail: Pittsylvania County's April 15, 2025 Board action denied Balico's rezoning request for a private natural-gas power plant and data centers on 763.16 acres. The existing 3,500 MW dataset figure remains unverified as requested, approved, energized, generation, or data-center IT load; the power-station description is project context, not an approved capacity.

Bloom / Fuel Cells

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