Possible Piketon data center emissions worry residents, city

ATHENS, Ohio — The scope of the data center project in Piketon has some residents concerned about potential downwind emissions affecting Athens County. Councilmember Beth Clodfelter (At-Large) read an email from Aaron Leatherwood, outlining his concerns about pollution from the PORTS-Pike Technology Campus . This project will transform the former Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant into the largest data center in the world according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Power for the facility will be provided by a 9.2 gigawatt natural gas-fired power plant. “The developer is attempting to rush the project and is hoping to go from application to power production in under two years,” Leatherwood wrote. “The project is not receiving the scrutiny that it needs to receive, particularly in regards to downwind health.” Of particular concern to Leatherwood is the decision by the developers to utilize conventional gas-turbines rather than the cleaner and more efficient combined-cycle gas turbines. “Their efforts to mitigate the scale of this project are limited and constrained by the technologies they are choosing, and it will be far harder to change once this plant is built,” Leatherwood continued.
