Ohio data centers: what the public record shows.
A major-project first pass plus a physical-facility inventory and a sourced claim-and-inference desk. We separate grid demand from IT capacity, construction from operation, supported jobs from permanent headcount, and a draft permit from measured water use.

Map sources and method
The state outline is adapted from the U.S. Census Bureau 2025 cartographic boundary file. Facility coordinates are adapted from Compute Atlas by Edward Kubiak, edition 1.33.0, under CC BY 4.0. Outline and markers use one geographic projection before any explicitly disclosed readability offset. Exact singleton source anchors are never moved. A one-kilometre boundary tolerance prevents the simplified 1:20,000,000 outline from hiding legitimate border-area source points; farther conflicts are disclosed, not clamped. DataCenterData groups source-reported city coordinates only within a bounded map radius; the outline does not validate a facility record.

20register rows kept separate by unit: 19 project/campus and 1 operating facility; independently source-linked and attributed layers stay separate
29facility/building records: 3 independently source-linked and 26 attributed or unresolved; the mixed project register carries one further operating facility
10sourced claims, unit distinctions and common inferences tested
0statewide totals published before a comparable denominator exists
This is not “every Ohio data center.”It covers major projects with useful public evidence. A commercial directory count can mix a campus, a building, a tenant suite and a network point-of-presence. The public first pass does not inherit those rows or call missing facilities zero.
Included now
Major hyperscale projects plus 29 colocation, enterprise and hyperscale building records directly identified by operators, with lifecycle status preserved.
Still missing
The city says approximately 15 information-technology companies have constructed 40 facilities, with 28 more announced or under construction, but does not publish the building-level denominator. Our separate 43-entry municipal project ledger uses a different unit. Opening dates, identities, private/government sites, retired facilities and observed outcomes remain queued.
Not additive
Three Google campuses, a multi-building AWS expansion and a four-data-center Vantage plan are each one record here. The record count is not a building count.
Where the evidence points
Projects and buildings are different layers.
Orange markers represent the mixed project register: 19 project or campus records and 1 operating-facility record. Cyan markers are the separate operator-identified physical-facility or building inventory. Records are anchored to Census geography centroids—not parcel coordinates—and dense Central Ohio markers are visibly offset to remain tappable.
Boundaries: Census TIGERweb Generalized ACS 2025. Centroids: Census TIGERweb Current/ACS26. Lewis Center uses the Orange Township centroid. Dense Central Ohio markers receive disclosed presentation offsets; the exact source centroids remain in the data. Open map data and precision notes →
What the first pass reveals
Ohio’s public numbers speak different languages.
The most impressive-looking figures are usually not directly comparable. The honest statewide view starts by refusing to add them.
Vantage OH1 IT load
Planned critical IT capacity across three buildings—not total campus grid demand.
Vantage OH2 IT capacity
Planned capacity in Millersport. Its adjacent-generation and no-rate-impact claims still need regulatory records.
Google Ohio investment
Company statewide investment-to-date claim; it cannot be allocated across three campuses from the reviewed disclosure.
New Albany building reconciliation
The city names the buildings. It does not prove they are operating.
We transcribed every current municipal Commercial Projects entry described as a “new data center” or “new data building.” This creates a public identity queue without turning a construction-project page into an operating-facility count.
43named municipal data-center or data-building project leads
8company labels, including one unresolved NBY label
4already crosswalked to physical QTS building records
2support buildings explicitly excluded from this ledger
What 43 does—and does not—mean.It is a count of named municipal construction/project entries, including future work and repeated generic building labels. It does not verify that many distinct operating facilities and it does not reconcile the city’s separate “15 companies operate 40+ facilities” claim. That requires opening dates, identities and lifecycle evidence.

Checked 12 September 2026
Ohio has more than 200 data centers.
What the evidence supports
Ohio's consumer advocate repeats a commercial-directory count. It is useful as a market signal, but the linked directory's counting unit, lifecycle scope and deduplication have not been reconciled here. OCC's web page says more than 200; a retained PDF at its March-path URL says about 200, while the live page now links to a different May-path PDF that was not retrieved. DataCenterData does not adopt 200-plus as its own count.
Still unknown
A statewide census with consistent record units, lifecycle rules, deduplication and a dated coverage audit.

Partially supportedCommon reading; no one is quoted
Checked 12 September 2026
Treating Ohio's 85% data-center tariff as proof that residents cannot be affected by data-center-driven power costs.
What the evidence supports
The PUCO-approved AEP Ohio tariff allocates substantial underuse and cancellation risk to new loads over 25 MW. PUCO describes the concern as cost shifting from significant transmission infrastructure and other underused investment serving data centers. These protections are real, but the reviewed sources do not prove that residents can never be affected by generation, transmission, wholesale-market or pre-tariff costs. Under AEP's published contract-capacity formula, DataCenterData calculates a minimum of about 72.5% at 50 MW and 82.5% at 100 MW; a separate historical-demand ratchet can produce a higher billed demand. AEP reports that 12,219 of 17,861 MW of contracted data-center projects were signed before the tariff took effect; contracted projects are not current measured load.
Still unknown
Whether generation, transmission, wholesale-market or pre-tariff contracts can affect household bills remains a separate question from this tariff arithmetic.
(DataCenterData calculation from AEP published formula: 15,000 kW plus 85% above 25,000 kW up to 75,000 kW; 57,500 kW plus 100% above 75,000 kW; capped at 85% of contract capacity.)

Reading New Albany's $178 million payroll-equivalent figure as actual operator payroll.
What the evidence supports
The city calls $178 million a payroll equivalent: the amount of payroll that would yield the same revenue at its 2% income-tax rate. It is a city-reported comparison for one hyperscaler, not the operator's reported payroll, a headcount or an independently reconciled tax-receipt audit.
Still unknown

Reading Ohio's equipment sales-and-use-tax exemption as meaning a qualifying project pays no taxes.
What the evidence supports
Ohio Revised Code §122.175 still supplies the eligibility framework: at least $100 million in project investment and at least $1.5 million in annual qualifying payroll, with agreement and annual verification requirements. It authorizes a complete or partial sales-and-use-tax exemption for qualifying data-center equipment. It does not by itself mean a qualifying project pays no taxes, and it does not repeal existing agreements. Whether new exemption requests remain paused is a separate claim (ohio-exemption-pause).
Still unknown
Net fiscal result of any named project; whether a named project complied with or received an exemption.

Reading Meta's nuclear agreements as dedicated plants directly wired to the New Albany campus.

Treating Ohio EPA's draft general permit as final blanket permission or proof of actual discharge.
What the evidence supports
Ohio EPA's Community Notice dated 21 July 2026 states that draft permit OHD000001 will not be finalized and that individual NPDES permitting remains the appropriate path. The official notice was retrieved and preserved on 12 September; a later live recheck was unavailable. The abandoned draft was never blanket permission, and an individual permit is still permission—not proof of actual discharge or site compliance.
Still unknown
Individual permits for named data-center outfalls were not inventoried. An individual NPDES permit is permission, not measured discharge or proof of compliance.

Checked 12 September 2026
Treating New Albany's no-additional-capacity statement as proof that facility-level water impact is negligible.
What the evidence supports
The city says it has not needed additional water capacity because of data centers. That city page still does not provide facility-level withdrawals. Google later published company-reported 2025 campus figures for New Albany, Lancaster and Lockbourne; those remain company claims with third-party limited assurance, not municipal meter audits. Independent utility/meter records, cooling share and peak-day demand remain missing for other operators.

Power / developer claim · OH · vantage-oh2-millersport
Company claimSaid by Vantage (company) in Vantage Millersport campus FAQ.
Checked 17 September 2026
The natural-gas power facility described as adjacent to Vantage's planned Millersport campus means the campus will not affect electricity costs for local residents or businesses.
What the evidence supports
Vantage says the proposed Fairfield Energy Center would power its adjacent campus without connecting to the local or regional grid. A preserved OPSB summary describes a proposed 1,300 MW gas facility with up to 1,000 MW of battery storage; the developer instead reports up to 1,350 MW net generation and approximately 1,040 MW storage. Those figures are not data-center IT capacity. No certificate or hearing outcome has been verified; the evidentiary hearing is noticed for 17 September 2026. The plans cannot establish future retail-bill effects as an observed outcome.
Still unknown

Ohio's data-center sales-and-use-tax exemption statute has been repealed, or existing agreements were cancelled, by Governor DeWine's pause.
What the evidence supports
ORC §122.175 remains the statute and still sets the $100 million capital / $1.5 million payroll thresholds. The pause applies to new requests and does not repeal the statute or existing agreements. WOSU / Statehouse News Bureau reported on 6 August 2026 that Governor DeWine said the freeze 'will continue until I leave office.'
Still unknown
The governor's direct May communication was not independently retrieved. Official Tax Credit Authority text of the pause was not obtained.

Open data includes every row, review status and current source: Ohio physical-facility JSON. These 29 rows and the 20 separately typed register rows are intentionally non-additive.
Major-project first pass
A mixed record register, with incompatible units left intact.
The register contains 19 project or campus records and 1 operating-facility record. These rows prioritize current primary or first-party records. A company page can establish what a company claims; it does not independently prove delivery. Open each source directly.

Fairfield Energy says it submitted OPSB Case 26-0160-EL-BGN for up to 1,350 MW net gas generation plus approximately 1,040 MW of battery storage. Those generation and storage figures are not data-center IT capacity and cannot be summed with 696 MW. The developer page establishes an application, not a certificate or construction authorization. The claim of no local rate impact is a company prediction, not an observed outcome. |

Ohio Tax Credit Authority minutes approve a ten-year 50% sales/use-tax exemption tied to 32 FTE, $4 million annual payroll and $1 billion investment commitments. The city budget describes a 120 MW natural-gas project groundbreaking; 120 MW is associated generation, not critical IT capacity. |

The roles of 5C Group and Vultr and the often-reported 150 MW figure remain held because the reviewed primary record does not establish them. |
Open data: Ohio project JSON. The two disclosed Vantage capacities are critical IT figures; Meta’s 1 GW is a company capacity description. They are not summed because their engineering and temporal boundaries are not yet reconciled.
The regulatory ledger
Two records worth watching.
Tariff and incentive rules create future verification hooks. The public value is not merely finding the rule—it is matching each beneficiary’s promise to later compliance records.
AEP Ohio Schedule DCT
Applies to new or expanded data-center loads over 25 MW. It includes load-study fees, ramp rules, minimum demand charges, collateral for weaker credits and 100% buildout reimbursement for certain pre-energization cancellation or delay.
Read current tariff guidance ↗Ohio Revised Code §122.175
Eligible projects require at least $100 million of capital investment and $1.5 million of annual payroll, with annual reporting of employment, withholding and investment. The governor paused consideration of new requests on May 27, 2026; the hard next step remains obtaining agreement- and taxpayer-level outcomes for benefits already granted.

Statewide audit pending
Enough to answer questions
This is still not a list of every data center in the state.
Statewide coverage is not complete. The records below are sourced; a full statewide count has not been published.
State research audit window ended 12 September 2026. Individual records and claims below show their own evidence dates and may be newer.
Next scheduled review: 17 September 2026.
This review was overdue when this page was rebuilt on 19 September 2026.
10 independently source-linked project/campus records; 4 independently source-linked facility/building records; 35 attributed or unresolved rows. These counts use different units and must not be added together.
Source families checked, selected records and remaining gaps
These notes name selected records, say which kinds of public evidence were checked and show what remains missing. They do not add anything to the published counts.
- economic development incentives — Partly checked
- No index page listing Ohio Tax Credit Authority minutes was found; five probed 2026 minute URLs all returned unavailable during review, so 2026 exemption approvals were not enumerated.
- Minutes before October 2025 were not retrieved, so earlier exemption recipients (including the hyperscaler agreements referenced in secondary coverage) are unknown from primary records here.
- The governor's announcement pausing new data center exemptions returned unavailable during review on fetch, so the pause's exact scope and effective dates were not read.
- Ohio law makes applicant financial statements non-public, so the exemption agreements themselves were not sought.
Selected records
- Ohio Tax Credit Authority meeting minutes, October 27, 2025 · Ohio Department of Development / Ohio Tax Credit Authority
- Ohio Tax Credit Authority meeting minutes — additional 2026 meeting dates · Ohio Department of Development / Ohio Tax Credit Authority
- Governor DeWine Announces Pause of Data Center Tax Exemption · Office of the Governor of Ohio
- utility commission large load — Partly checked
- The DIS document-image endpoint (ViewImage.aspx) is blocked by a web application firewall, so no PUCO or OPSB filing PDF could be read; only docket cards were available.
- AEP Ohio's 09/11/2025 correspondence on signing up new Schedule DCT customers was identified on the docket card but could not be opened, so no DCT customer list was obtained.
- No customer-specific electric service agreement, large-load interconnection queue or PJM new-service-request record was reached for any Ohio site.
- Dockets for AES Ohio, Duke Energy Ohio and FirstEnergy's Ohio utilities were not searched, so the AWS Sidney (Project Galaxy) AES Ohio filings referenced in the Compute Atlas extract were not examined.

- environmental construction permits — Partly checked
- Ohio EPA's eDocument Search could not be queried, so no permit-to-install, permit-to-install-and-operate or Title V permit number was captured for any Ohio research lead; every generator and fuel-cell figure in the current research record is from a city notice or the licensed dataset, not from a permit.
- The Environmental Review Appeals Commission docket for the Hilliard appeal was not located, so no ERAC case number is recorded.
- NPDES, stormwater construction general permit notices and water-withdrawal records were not searched at all.
- No county or municipal building, grading or generator permit record was retrieved for any Ohio research lead.

Clark, Wood, Miami, Shelby, Fayette, Clinton, Butler, Stark, Summit, Cuyahoga, Portage, Trumbull, Coshocton, Erie, Delaware, Fairfield, Pike, Scioto, Lawrence, Allen, Van Wert, Monroe, Adams and Preble all have data center activity in the Compute Atlas extract and none of their assessor systems was reached.
- No planning commission, zoning board, city council agenda or minutes document was retrieved for any Ohio jurisdiction; the City of Pataskala's website did not resolve.
- The Licking County owner-name sweep was keyed on operator names, so data center owners holding land under unrelated LLC names in Licking County remain unfound; the MONTAUK query only ran because the abatement sweep surfaced the name by accident.
- Franklin County's 'data center' class sweep does not capture sites under construction that have not yet been reclassified, nor enterprise data centers classed as office or warehouse.

- tax abatement development agreements — Partly checked
- No executed agreement document was retrieved. Community Reinvestment Area agreements, TIF ordinances, development agreements and the New Albany JEDD/JEDZ instruments behind these abatements were not located or read.
- Ohio's annual CRA and TIF reports to the Department of Development, which would name the agreements and their terms, were not searched.
- The Sidney/Shelby County development agreement for the AWS Project Galaxy campus and the Fayette County 30-year CRA exemption referenced in the Compute Atlas extract were not sought.
- Abatement data was gathered only for Licking and Franklin counties.
Selected records
- Licking County Auditor parcel query — parcels carrying an abated improvement value · Licking County Auditor / Licking County GIS
- operator disclosures — Partly checked
- Guessed hyperscaler URLs for Amazon, Meta and Vantage all returned unavailable during review and were not re-searched, so no first-party Amazon, Meta, Google, Microsoft, QTS, STACK, EdgeConneX, Aligned or Vantage location page was read for Ohio.
- Colocation operators present in Ohio but not checked include Expedient, H5, CyrusOne, DataBank, Flexential, T5, Iron Mountain, Ark Data Centers, Racksquared and DataYard.
- No operator sustainability, investor or SEC material was examined.
Selected records
- Socrates Power Solution Facilities · Williams Companies

- open datasets directories — Checked
- Roughly ninety Compute Atlas Ohio records were read but not turned into research leads, including large and contested projects such as AWS Sidney (Project Galaxy), AWS Fayette County, AWS Sprigg Township, AWS Wilmington, AWS Trenton, AWS Perry Township, Aligned Conesville, Aligned NEO-01, Aligned Chillicothe, Stargate Lordstown, the PORTS-Pike technology campus, Bitdeer Clarington and Shalersville, Google's Lima Project BOSC and Franklin Furnace Project Dazzler, Meta Piqua Project Klondike, Vantage OH2 Millersport, QTS Van Wert, CyrusOne New Albany COL-1, MARA Findlay and the Oregon Industrial Park campus. Each would need its own county-level primary record.
- No unlicensed directory (Data Center Map, Baxtel, datacenters.com, Cloudscene, PeeringDB) was consulted at all, so provider-presence and colocation coverage in the current research record is thin.
- FracTracker and other advocacy trackers were not used.

- historical closures withdrawals names — Partly checked
- No primary record of any cancellation was obtained. The City of Pataskala's website hostname did not resolve, and the two news reports of the council denial were seen only as search results and not yet reviewed directly.
- No corporate filing, deed or Secretary of State record was used to confirm the Involta-to-Ark rename or the ownership entities behind SI NAL01A ABS LLC, Montauk Innovations LLC, Magellan Enterprises LLC, Sidecat LLC, CLOP Hilliard LLC or Continental Broadband LLC.
- Archived versions of operator and city pages were not consulted, so earlier names, withdrawn phases and superseded capacity claims were not recovered.
- Older Ohio closures and demolitions (pre-2024 colocation consolidations, the DataBank/Involta and Expedient acquisitions listed in the canonical lifecycle-events file) were not searched.
Selected records
- news and other discovery — Partly checked
- No news article was opened in the current review; all news sources are search-result-only.
- Local reporting on individual county projects (Stark, Portage, Trumbull, Adams, Shelby, Clinton, Butler) was not read, so the discovery pipeline for those counties rests entirely on the Compute Atlas extract.
