Provider notes
Energy. Phase 1 is described as 10 MW drawn from the existing grid through the site's existing electrical substation, paired with battery energy storage; the development plan also cites on-site gas infrastructure for backup power. Stokes Energy is named as the EPC contractor.
Water. West Virginia Public Broadcasting reports the development plan includes "access to river water for liquid cooling." No cooling method has been specified, so coolingType is left unset.
What the source record says
Phased plan: Phase 1 a 10-MW modular data center system with battery energy storage targeted for late 2026; Phase 2 expansion to 20–30 MW (reported as "as much as 100 megawatts" in 2027 by River News); Phase 3 a 100-MW regional compute hub. capacityMw.planned records the 100-MW full build-out. The foundry operated for more than 180 years until it closed in 2023. Under HB 2014 the project is exempt from county/municipal zoning and building permitting. Coordinates are the OSM address point for 74 Warwood Avenue, 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.
