Provider notes
Energy. New LG&E switch station to be completed September 2026; initial 130 MW available October 2026; expandable from 335 MW to 402 MW
Community. Strong community opposition from Rubbertown-area residents citing energy affordability burdens on low-income customers, environmental and health equity concerns in a historically underserved West End neighborhood. Multiple public hearings with significant protests. Louisville Party for Socialism and Liberation among opponents.
What the source record says
Address: 6001 Camp Ground Road, Louisville, KY; near Shively and the Rubbertown industrial district, less than 1 mile from the Ohio River. 153 acres confirmed by DCD. 1.6M sq ft total campus across seven buildings. Operator discussing tenants including major hyperscalers (Google, Amazon, Microsoft named in reports). End tenant not publicly disclosed at time of research. Fix: removed unconfirmed '50-year' duration from tax exemption description — program exists per Kentucky 2024 legislation but specific term length was not confirmed by any fetched source.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
