Data centers are spiking Ohio utility prices. One developer is Trump’s business partner.

A data center project being developed by DAMAC Properties, a company chaired by Emirati billionaire Hussain Sajwani who has a longstanding business relationship with former President Donald Trump, is reportedly driving up utility prices in Canton, Ohio. The project is one of many data centers being built in Ohio, which has become a top target for data center developers, and the increased demand is causing a spike in electricity bills for residents and small business owners nationwide.
