Data centers' energy demand drives grid construction in Central Virginia

Rapidly increasing electricity demand, primarily driven by Northern Virginia data centers, is spurring major grid expansion projects across Central Virginia. This includes a new 115-mile transmission line and a second natural gas power plant in Fluvanna County, proposed by Tenaska. Local residents and environmentalists are pushing back against these infrastructure developments due to concerns about land conversion, pollution, and health impacts.

Nebraska lawmaker among those who optioned land for potential data center project

Nebraska State Senator Myron Dorn optioned 80 acres of his land in Gage County to Tenaska, an energy developer pursuing land for a data center and power plant. This comes as the Nebraska Legislature debates LB1261, a bill that would enable private developers like Tenaska to build power plants for large industrial customers, including data centers. Senator Dorn recently disclosed a potential conflict of interest regarding the land deal and the bill, which is crucial for Tenaska's potential project, possibly for a Google data center.

Google Proposes Nebraska Data Center Requiring More Power Than All Of Lincoln

Google is considering building a massive data center in Nebraska that could require over 3 times the power used by the entire city of Lincoln. The project would be powered by a privately-built natural gas plant with carbon capture technology, and is contingent on a new state law that would allow private generators to sell excess power to the grid.
