- Targeted online 2026-2027; on-site ~200 MW gas generation targeted Nov 2026
- Public summary
- Meta's first gigawatt-class data center, under construction in New Albany, Ohio. ~1,000 MW load with on-site ~200 MW gas generation targeted Nov 2026 (as of 2026-04). Notable for a co-located on-site natural gas generation project — a direct example of large loads bringing their own generation to bypass grid-interconnection delay.
- Grid relevance
- A leading PJM-footprint large load and a clear case of the on-site-generation strategy reshaping how data centers approach interconnection. Co-located generation is exactly the configuration PJM's FERC-ordered co-location rules now govern.
