After a Week of Data Center Discussion in the Ohio Valley, Here’s What We Know

The Ohio Valley saw discussions about two data center-related projects: one in Warwood, Ohio County, West Virginia, by Silicon Foundation Energy, and another by EnergiAcres in Belmont County, Ohio. The Warwood project was clarified by company officials as primarily a manufacturing facility for data center modules with potential for a smaller compute hub, while the Belmont County project is a proposed 2-3 gigawatt AI data center campus in early planning stages. Both proposals have generated significant public and government interest, with residents raising concerns about environmental and infrastructure impacts.
