Is a Data Center Coming

Spartanburg County, SC

NorthMark Cloud and Compute Spartanburg

NorthMark Cloud and Compute (filed as Valara Holdings). Under construction. 450 MW.

A 2.8 billion dollar, roughly 450 megawatt data center with an on site gas power plant under construction on the former Kohler site. It faces a Southern Environmental Law Center lawsuit over its approval and a Public Service Commission dispute over whether the power plant needs a siting certificate. The county's proposed moratorium would not stop this already underway project.

What it would mean nearby

The cooling design has not been reported. If it uses evaporative cooling, a 450 MW facility would draw roughly 1.4 million to 5.1 million gallons of water a day, about what 16,400 households use.
