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.

Source notes

Google's Ohio page names Columbus as one of its three Ohio data center communities. The 2021 application ($300M, 150k sq ft, 20 jobs) describes the first building only, and the campus has since grown. Epoch's MW figures are model estimates and are not recorded as capacity. The parcel-to-S. High St link rests on matching location (south of I-270 on US 23) and the Magellan shell entity, so the pin is approximate.
