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

Developers (Poe Companies and PowerHouse Data Centers, the same partnership behind PowerHouse Data Centers – Louisville (Camp Ground Road), tracked separately as of September 2026) have secured purchase options and completed initial site studies but had not started construction as of the 2026-09-10 source check; 'it's unclear when construction ... will begin.' Data center footprint is reported as roughly 300 acres. WHAS11 describes a 500-acre site that includes 342 acres owned by Carrollton Utilities, adjacent to its regional wastewater treatment plant; another report puts the land under purchase option at 550 acres, and a third describes the mayor's July 2025 option contract as covering 340 acres of public land. The recorded land area uses the 500-acre figure. An economic-impact analysis projects about $93.2M in local tax revenue (Louisville Business First calls it annual), over $64M of it to Carroll County Public Schools; the developer also received $3.7 million in Kentucky Business Investment (KBI) incentive funding (year not stated in source, so it is not recorded as a subsidy).

Louisville Public Media reports that the campus would "reportedly use 800 megawatts" and names no utility. As of October 2026, no cited source describes an agreement to purchase 800 MW from Kentucky Utilities. Louisville Business First (via Yahoo News) says the project team has conducted power studies to ensure available capacity from Louisville Gas & Electric and Kentucky Utilities, and the first cited article says it is unclear how much electricity the data center will need and that developers said studies show LG&E has the capacity to serve the facility. One report puts the land under purchase option at 550 acres south of Carrollton near the Kentucky River and says about 300 acres would carry the data center campus, with the balance reserved for landscaping, setbacks and buffers.
