EdgeCore Plans $17B Data Center Campus in Virginia
EdgeCore Digital Infrastructure announced a $17 billion investment to build a 3.9 million square foot, high-density data center campus in Louisa County, Virginia, capable of supporting over 1.1 gigawatts of power. This project will more than double EdgeCore's current power capacity in Virginia and is designed to serve hyperscale and AI-focused clients with scalable, cost-efficient solutions. Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin praised the investment, highlighting the state's status as a global leader in internet infrastructure and the economic benefits of job creation and tax revenue. The data center will feature sustainable technologies, including a closed-loop air-cooled system minimizing water usage, and will be powered by Rappahannock Electric Cooperative and its affiliate Hyperscale Energy. EdgeCore emphasized a community-first development approach, drawing on experience from previous campuses, and aims to contribute positively to Louisa County’s growth and resources. The project adds to Virginia's already significant role in the global data center industry, despite some local concerns about environmental impacts from data center expansions.
