Provider notes
Energy. Site is in AEP Ohio service territory. Brownfield location retains former plant's high-capacity grid infrastructure, which is a primary site-selection advantage. Aligned is publicly exploring on-site SMR/nuclear additions but no confirmed agreement. Nuclear would be future supplemental supply.
Water. No cooling type or water consumption data disclosed. Former coal plant had access to Muskingum River cooling water infrastructure; Aligned has not confirmed whether this will be utilized.
Community. Strong positive reception at October 2025 groundbreaking. Coshocton County Commissioners and Port Authority executive director spoke favorably. Site revitalization fills a significant local tax and employment gap left by AEP plant closure (plant formerly provided ~10% of River View Local Schools' annual budget and employed ~600 workers). …
These reviews flag conflicting scope, inconsistent source text or support that has not been established. A withheld value may appear in the explanation, but is not displayed as an established field. The upstream row remains attributed under Sources.
- Announced permanent jobs: The source note says permanent and construction jobs were described only as ‘hundreds’ and ‘thousands’ and that the numeric job fields were meant to be omitted as projections.

What the source record says
Brownfield redevelopment of former AEP Conesville coal plant (2 GW, operational 62 years, closed May 2020). Frontier Group of Companies acquired the plant in 2020 and built the Conesville Industrial Park across ~2,500 acres; Aligned purchased a 197-acre parcel. Aligned describes the project as 'AI/HPC' and 'Gigascale' in its press materials, and this is its third Ohio campus (others: Perkins Township/Sandusky, 96 MW total; Pataskala). Multi-building campus — renderings show up to four buildings; second, third, and fourth buildings referenced at groundbreaking. Capacity MW not publicly disclosed. Investment described as 'multi-billion dollar' — no firm figure confirmed; field omitted per policy. Construction jobs described as 'thousands'; permanent roles as 'hundreds of high-quality long-term positions' — projections only, numeric fields omitted. Aligned is exploring on-site nuclear power (SMRs) for this campus and nearby Zanesville/Cambridge sites; no agreement confirmed. Coordinates approximate (village-level). Site infrastructure funding note: the Coshocton Port Authority received a $58.7M grant (Ohio Dept of Development All Ohio Future Fund, announced July 21, 2025) for utility upgrades, water/wastewater extensions, and roadway improvements across the broader industrial park — this benefits Aligned indirectly but is not a direct subsidy to Aligned and is therefore not listed under subsidies.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
