How a $1 billion data center fell apart in Ohio

A $1 billion data center project in Hamilton, Ohio, fell apart after the developer, Wharton Equity Partners, sought to quadruple the facility's power capacity to over 200 megawatts. City power system studies revealed the municipal utility could not reliably support the increased demand without significant upgrades and risks, leading the developer to terminate the agreement. Although public opposition was present, the project's failure was primarily due to these infrastructure limitations.

Spartanburg County leaders say they only recently learned of proposed data center. Some residents aren’t buying it.

Spartanburg County Council voted to direct staff to draft a one-year moratorium on data centers after a permit request was filed for a proposed facility at 300 Jones Road. Residents are questioning the timing, alleging council members knew about the project and their concerns for months, despite council claiming they only recently considered the project active. The proposed data center is a partnership between Wharton Digital and Lighthouse Data Centers.
