Eagle Rock Partners Smoaks project
Eagle Rock Partners. Withdrawn. 1000 MW.
A roughly 1,000 megawatt data center proposed on timberland near Smoaks in the ACE Basin watershed. After about 400 residents opposed it at a December 2025 hearing the developer did not reapply; the county passed a six month moratorium and is drafting an overlay district critics say may accommodate a future project on the same land.

What it would mean nearby
The cooling design has not been reported. If it uses evaporative cooling, a 1000 MW facility would draw roughly 3.2 million to 11.4 million gallons of water a day, about what 36,500 households use.
