Proposed-site record

Adams Fork Wharncliffe Data Center

West Virginia DEP records add a claim-specific construction-permit trail for the Adams Fork Wharncliffe campus and distinguish its planned off-grid generation design from data-center capacity. The 2,398.5 MW remains planned generation/project context, with workload, IT load, and energized status unknown.

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 reviewed September 9, 2026: Adams Fork's developer describes mine-pool water as a planned geothermal cooling resource and says the campus would not use community water. The company claim does not establish a permitted withdrawal, cooling consumption, wastewater discharge, or operating water quantity.

Power

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: West Virginia DEP lists a construction permit application for the Adams Fork Harless Data Center Energy Campus and the separate Adams Fork Data Center Energy Campus; the corresponding DEP evaluation describes an off-grid electric-generating facility with a theoretical installed output of about 2,457 MW. This is planned generation and permit context, not confirmed data-center IT load or energized capacity; the record's 2,398.5 MW remains generation/project context.
