NScale and Fidelis Energy are developing the Monarch Campus, a large AI data center on over 2,000 acres in Mason County, West Virginia, with a projected 2027 launch and 700 permanent jobs. The project aims to use a microgrid to avoid impacting local ratepayers and addresses environmental concerns regarding sound and efficient water usage. State leaders see this development as an opportunity to retain locally generated power and boost the economy.
