Provider notes
Energy. Grid-only. Data Center Frontier: power for the 70-acre, 192MW (3x64MW) OH1 campus comes from a dedicated local 300 MVA N+1 AEP substation (delivered ~Q4 2024), with 'renewable energy sources and their development credits available above the meter' — i.e., an optional REC/PPA-style overlay.
Community. New Albany Mayor Sloan Spalding and JobsOhio's Dave Brewster are quoted welcoming the project at its 2024-10-25 groundbreaking, alongside a New Albany City Council member and local economic-development/community-foundation figures. No opposition or resident concerns documented. Checked: operator press release only.
What the source record says
3325 Horizon Court, Johnstown — Licking County section of the New Albany International Business Park. Vantage's first Midwest campus and seventh North American market. 3 buildings, 1.5M+ sq ft total, 192MW total planned IT capacity (not yet fully operational). LEED Silver target, part of Vantage's 2030 net-zero operational carbon commitment. Vantage's own press release states OH1 "will provide secure and reliable infrastructure for cloud technologies and artificial intelligence" — real operator-stated AI-adjacent marketing (paired with "cloud," not an exclusive/GPU-specific claim), so tagged aiClassification: likely rather than confirmed.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
