Current canonical record

Facility would include natural gas and diesel power generators producing 1656MW of power. Could span 10,000 acres across Tucker and Grant counties if fully realized. Representatives told WSJ it could be 'among the largest data center campuses in the world.'

June 2026 reporting on West Virginia Department of Commerce correspondence materially expands the described Ridgeline project scale beyond the earlier 1,656 MW figure: state officials said Fundamental Data described Phase 1 as approximately 800 MW of natural-gas generation, 1.3 GW of solar generation, and 14 data-center buildings using more than 2.0 GW of power, with Phase 2 adding 3.1 GW of gas-fired generation and enough data-center buildings to use that generation. The correspondence said the power plant would be in Tucker County and data-center facilities would be in Tucker and Grant counties. WV MetroNews reported that the state and developer are disputing whether the project triggered mandatory High Impact Data Center certification; Fundamental Data responded that contemplated data centers remain conceptual and that it is a generation developer rather than a data-center operator. Treat the 5.2 GW value as the disputed project-scale power/generation figure described by the state, not as confirmed critical IT load.
