The data center will host its own energy source, according to Coleman, meaning the center won’t directly raise utility costs for nearby residents.
According to the DOE, the data center development will be a collaboration between several energy partners.
Brookfield was selected in Nov. 2025 to develop and operate the data center campus.
Big Rivers Electric Power Corporation will provide wholesale electric service to the data center, and Jackson Purchase Energy Cooperative will provide retail electric service to the data center.
Paducah Power System is set to serve as a community partner.
