Provider notes
Energy. Baseload supplied by an adjacent VoltaGrid on-site natural-gas generation plant rather than the Georgia Power grid; 37 diesel-fired emergency backup generators covered under the site air-quality permit.
Community. Environmental and community groups (Southern Environmental Law Center and partners) filed an enforcement request with Georgia EPD over unpermitted construction and air-quality concerns.
What the source record says
Serverfarm data center campus on Hazelbrand Road in Covington, Newton County, powered by an adjacent VoltaGrid on-site natural-gas plant. Georgia EPD issued an air-quality permit for the data center and 37 diesel emergency generators on 2026-06-29, but issued Notices of Violation on 2026-07-02 because construction began before the required permits were obtained. Coordinates are an approximate Covington geocode, not a parcel-confirmed footprint.
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.
