Located at 6525 New Albany Road East, the 24 MW data center will conserve nearly 95 million gallons of water annually, a significant advantage given Ohio's growing water scarcity issues, 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 thrilled to be partnering 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 optimised for energy efficiency, water conservation, and top-tier performance," said Edged Energy.
