Provider notes
Energy. AWS will fund, build, own, and operate an on-site substation; site sits on ~1,000 acres including a former DP&L landfill, near the retired J.M. Stuart coal plant.
Community. Sprigg Township passed a 12-month data center moratorium (2026-02-26) after residents learned of the project; a resident-founded group (Conserve Ohio) is pushing a statewide ban on large-scale data centers, citing rising electricity costs and water/environmental concerns.
What the source record says
No formal development proposal has been filed with Adams County per county officials as of Aug 2026, but a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit 39 was issued 2026-02-18 covering site work, and the county's own AWS project page states initial earthwork is expected in 2026 (general contractor not yet determined).
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

Compute Atlas 1.34.1 with retained prior rows and publication holds. This is a DataCenterData composite, not an unmodified publisher edition. This row uses the captured source from 1.34.1, source as of 2026-10-14T20:40:52.293Z.
That does not mean the row is wrong, and it does not mean no reviewed record exists for the same place. A link is added only when an identifier or source establishes the match.
