ServerFarm plans $6.6 billion Clarksville data center with on-site power generation
ServerFarm plans to build a $6.6 billion data center in Clarksville that will generate most of its own electricity using 40 natural gas turbines. The company says it will pay for the power plant and related upgrades, while residents have raised concerns about water use and air pollution; the project could create about 200 permanent jobs.
ServerFarm is planning a $6.6 billion data center in Clarksville, Arkansas, designed to generate most of its own electricity rather than rely heavily on the local power grid. The facility would use 40 natural gas turbines, and ServerFarm says it will cover the cost of the power plant and associated infrastructure upgrades.
The project is expected to create approximately 200 permanent jobs. Some local residents remain concerned about the data center’s water consumption and potential air pollution, but the report does not indicate that the project has been approved, rejected, or otherwise resolved.
