Monarch Compute Campus rendering in Mason County, WV (courtesy Fidelis, click for larger version)
Here's a new gas-fired power plant coming to West Virginia that we previously did not know about. And it's a monster! Fidelis New Energy and 8090 Industries have launched American Intelligence & Power Corporation (AIP Corp.) to develop the Monarch Compute Campus in Mason County, West Virginia. This 2,380-acre microgrid project provides behind-the-meter power for AI and hyperscale data centers, bypassing standard grid delays. AIP Corp. recently ordered 2 gigawatts of Caterpillar natural gas generators and battery storage, with deliveries starting in late 2026. This facility will eventually scale to 10 gigawatts! The campus uses local gas pipelines and water from the Ohio River for cooling.
