How many data centers are in Kentucky?

More Than Just Parks tracks 41 active data center facilities in Kentucky, each citing a public source: 26 operating, 3 under construction and 12 proposed. 9 more were canceled, withdrawn, suspended or blocked.

How much electricity do Kentucky's data centers use?

We don’t publish a state total, and the reason matters: about five in ten facilities here never disclose a capacity, so any sum would look like a census of Kentucky's data center load while leaving out the sites that stayed quiet. Each facility page shows the figure its own source states. A single large campus can draw as much power as a small city.

Are Kentucky data centers near protected land?

8 of the tracked facilities in Kentucky sit within 10 miles of protected public land, measured to the real boundary of the nearest national park, wilderness area, wildlife refuge or conservation area; none sit within a single mile.
