Hyperscale data center developer confirmed

Blue Owl Capital has been confirmed as the developer for a hyperscale data center project on the former Columbia Gorge Aluminum plant site in Klickitat County, Washington. The project requires extensive environmental cleanup and securing carbon-free power, with construction anticipated to begin in 2028-2029. The site, which is zoned for industrial use, benefits from grandfathered water rights and its proximity to major tech data center hubs.
