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
Rezoned by Petersburg City Council in 2023 with subsequent approvals. A site plan has been submitted but not yet approved — comments and corrections on the most recent submission were returned in late April 2026 and an updated plan had not been resubmitted as of the reporting date.
Underlying source
Source notes
Four-building campus totalling roughly 1.2 million sq ft on 74 acres, served by a planned 300 MW substation; the 104 MW figure is the reported supported IT load at full buildout, not the substation rating. Menlo's own site markets the project as 'Richmond Virginia Data Center'. Coordinates are an approximate geocode of the cited street address.
