Data center developers seek on-site energy in Wise

Developers of a data center campus in Wise County, Virginia, are proposing a $1 billion project that includes generating 600 megawatts of on-site power using hydrogen or natural gas. This approach aims to address energy consumption concerns and avoid opposition, while also significantly boosting local tax revenue. The project's power source is pending a decision from the Virginia General Assembly regarding potential legislative restrictions.
