Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.
Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.
Reported lifecycle history
- Permitted
Indianapolis Metropolitan Development Commission voted 6-1 on 2026-07-15 to approve DC BLOX's scaled-back data center campus at the Thunderbird Commerce Center in Warren Township — the final local approval (rezoning/variance) needed to proceed. Advances the record from proposed to permitted.
Underlying source
Source notes
Three-building campus, scaled back from an original 28MW-larger plan. Capex breakout: $700-800M construction + $1.3-1.4B in 'servers, networking equipment, and AI hardware' per the developer's own figures. Coordinates are approximate.
DC BLOX states the campus will be served by AES Indiana and that the company, not ratepayers, funds the utility infrastructure it requires.
