Data Center Campus
PowerHouse, a US data center firm owned by AREP, is expanding into Kentucky with a large data center campus in Louisville. Developed in partnership with Poe Companies, the campus features a revised design that scales the layout to seven two-story buildings, totaling 1.6 million square feet.
While the site plan has received recommendations for approval due to its industrial zoning, the development faces intense community pushback over its massive projected energy and water use. In response to this backlash, local lawmakers have proposed a temporary moratorium on new data center approvals while the city works to establish stricter regulatory guidelines for hyperscale facilities.
