Aligned Data Centers Pataskala Proposal
Aligned Data Centers. Denied.
Aligned Data Centers purchased land in Pataskala in 2023 and filed an application in November 2025 to begin the zoning review process for a proposed 200 megawatt, three building site. Pataskala City Council voted 7-0 on August 25, 2026 to accept the planning board's recommendation and reject the proposal; an Aligned executive said the company would reflect and regroup, though no resubmission has been reported. Pataskala voters will separately decide a November 3, 2026 ballot measure on data centers over 25 megawatts.

What it would mean nearby
AEP Ohio distribution rate case (docket 25-0392-EL-AIR) takes about $1.22 a month off a typical bill, decided April 1, 2026. This is a minimum bill requirement for very large new customers, not a rate change for homes, but it exists specifically to keep data center grid costs off residential bills.
