More details for Allenwood data center proposal surface

Union County commissioners ordered PNK Group to halt non-protective construction of an electrical substation intended to serve its proposed Allenwood data center campus. The county said the developer lacked required approvals and should provide information about the broader project before resubmitting its application. PPL Electric is also planning a 6.8-mile, 230-kilovolt transmission line to supply the facility.

Wisconsin Rapids Mayor Anticipates Rejection of Data Center Proposal by City Council

Wisconsin Rapids Mayor Matt Zacher expects the City Council to reject a proposed data center from PNK Group, which previously failed at the plan commission due to gaps in the developer's plan, including noise levels and unclear tenants. The anticipated rejection would allow the city to develop a better data center ordinance during a year-long moratorium on such developments. The mayor remains open to future data center projects that operate quietly and utilize local industrial power sources.
