Provider notes
Energy. Nuclear PPAs with Vistra (Ohio nuclear plants) and Oklo (1.2 GW Pike County campus) reported and partially corroborated by SEC filings and news; TerraPower PPA referenced in NBC4i (403 on access this session) but not found in any independently accessible source — treat as unconfirmed. On-site gas generation mentioned in state permit filings per record notes; 200 MW figure and 20-acre power yard not independently confirmed from accessible public sources and removed from this record.
Community. New Albany City Council granted 15-year property tax abatement; nearby business owners voiced concern over frequent power outages. Broader New Albany data center tax-break policy contested by state legislators.
What the source record says
Baxtel reports campus as partially operational in 2026 with future phases planned; overall 1 GW build-out still in progress. Site address 1500 Beech Rd NW cited in permit filings but not confirmed from independently accessible sources this session. Nuclear PPA claims partially corroborated (Vistra/Oklo via SEC filings and news; TerraPower unconfirmed). On-site gas generation capacity removed pending accessible source confirmation. County listed as Licking — consistent with Beech Road corridor at Licking/Franklin county boundary per stopohiodatacenters.org. OPSB approved a 250 MW behind-the-meter gas plant ("Socrates the Younger," Will-Power OH, LLC) on 109 acres at Clover Valley Rd & Harrison Rd NW, New Albany, with the primary consumer named as Sidecat LLC, a Meta affiliate — corroborating the on-site generation previously removed pending an accessible source, and revising the figure from an unconfirmed 200 MW to 250 MW. This is the plant's nameplate generation, not IT load; the record's capacityMw (1,000 MW planned) is unchanged.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
