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
- Proposed
Mason County Fiscal Court gave final approval to rezone 28 properties outside Maysville from agricultural to rural industrial, clearing the way for a hyperscale data center campus. The undisclosed company retains final say on whether it develops the site.
Underlying source
Source notes
Reported campus of six data center buildings plus three substations, office space and parking on land rezoned outside Maysville. The end user has not been publicly named; outlets describe it variously as a Fortune 100 and a Fortune 50 US technology company. Capacity figures conflict across sources: the Kentucky Lantern project tracker reports 1.2 GW (recorded here) while WVXU reports 2.2 GW — this is not settled. Construction-jobs figures also conflict (WCPO reports 1,000, LEX18 reports more than 1,500), so only the 400 permanent positions both report are recorded. LEX18 names Eastern Kentucky Power as the utility and WVXU references a Duke Energy Woodsdale substation expansion; because those two accounts are inconsistent, no energy record is asserted. Coordinates are a geocode of Big Pond Pike (reported as the site road, near KY-3056) and are approximate — the parcel boundaries are not published.
