In April, MDN told you of a proposal by Fundamental Data for the “Ridgeline Facility,” a large natural gas power plant and data center that will be built between Davis and Thomas, WV (see 1,656 MW Gas-Fired Data Center Proposed in Tucker County, WV). At the time, we informed you that the power plant and data center would cover approximately 500 acres, with the gas-fired plant producing 1,656 megawatts (MW) of power. A story in May revealed that if the site is “fully realized,” it would be “among the largest data center campuses in the world,” spanning 10,000 acres (not 500) across Tucker and Grant counties (see Antis Target Gas-Fired Data Center Proposed for Tucker County, WV).
