Putting the Pieces Together on Digital Gateway

Alliance Partners, Piedmont Environmental Council |

Since 2021, PEC has been supporting our partners’ heroic efforts to stop the largest data center campus in the world from being built on rural land next to Manassas National Battlefield Park, along Pageland Lane in Prince William County, Virginia. 

The proposal, dubbed “Digital Gateway,” is massive and is projected to require around 3 gigawatts (GW) of energy. For context, that’s equivalent to the power used by 750,000 homes – roughly 5 times the number of households currently in Prince William County!

The post Putting the Pieces Together on Digital Gateway appeared first on The Piedmont Environmental Council.
