Powerconnex has announced plans to construct a 120 MW natural gas power plant in New Albany, Ohio, primarily to energize a co-located data center. The plant will be integral to move away from strained grid systems, especially as AI-related energy consumption rises. Scheduled to begin construction by late 2025, this facility addresses escalating energy demands following a two-decade stagnation in the sector's growth. The trend has prompted developers to consider independent energy solutions to avoid regulatory delays and reliance on existing power grids.
A developer is planning to power a data center in Ohio by building a natural gas-fired plant on the site, a public filing showed.
The data center development boom has caused electricity demand to surge in the US after nearly two decades of stagnation.
