The 24 MW data center, located at 6525 New Albany Road East, will save nearly 95 million gallons of water annually, a significant benefit given Ohio’s growing water scarcity, the company said. The facility is designed to deliver a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.15.
“We are on a mission to build data centers for positive impact. We are excited to partner with the New Albany community to support their thriving digital economy in a way that is sustainable and conserves precious local resources. Our highly differentiated platform of technologies is optimized for energy efficiency, water conservation and peak performance,” said Edge energy.
