Description

Project Racehorse represents a large-scale campus development opportunity in New Cumberland, West Virginia, strategically positioned along the Ohio River corridor and within proximity to Pittsburgh.

The project combines a substantial industrial development footprint with the potential for a dedicated behind-the-meter (BTM) power generation facility, access to regional natural gas infrastructure, and nearby high-voltage transmission networks.

The site is being positioned for AI infrastructure, hyperscale data centers, and other energy-intensive industrial applications, with a proposed phased power development strategy.

KEY INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

  1. 01
    Land AreaApproximately 900–1,000 acres reported, with potential expansion subject to verification.
  2. 02
    Initial Power Target500 MW of behind-the-meter generation within a targeted 36-month development period.
  3. 03
    Long-Term Power Potential2 GW+ expansion target, subject to development scope and infrastructure feasibility.
  4. 04
    Strategic LocationOhio River industrial corridor, within the greater Pittsburgh region.
  5. 05
    Natural Gas AccessReported on-site TC Energy / Columbia Gas infrastructure, with additional regional pipeline networks.
  6. 06
    Grid ConnectivitySix nearby 138 kV substations and a 345 kV transmission corridor in the surrounding area.

SITE & DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL

The property offers a substantial development footprint, reportedly comprising approximately 900–1,000 acres, with potential expansion to 1,500–2,000 acres.

The site is being considered for a large-scale campus development, with a focus on AI and hyperscale data center infrastructure.

The land classification and final transaction boundaries remain subject to confirmation, with site preparation, utilities and generation infrastructure requiring further development.

POWER & ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE

The proposed energy strategy is centered on a dedicated build-own-operate power generation facility, targeting an initial 500 MW of behind-the-meter capacity within approximately 36 months.

A longer-term expansion target exceeding 2 GW has also been indicated, subject to confirmation of the development scope, generation capacity and delivery milestones.

Additional infrastructure considerations include:

  • Reported 500 MW grid interconnection request, with a Mon Power load study reportedly submitted and pending confirmation of status.
  • Six nearby 138 kV substations.
  • A 345 kV transmission corridor approximately 2.5–3.6 miles south of the site.
  • Reported access to multiple regional natural gas pipeline networks.

UTILITIES & CONNECTIVITY
Natural Gas: Reported on-site TC Energy / Columbia Gas pipeline infrastructure, with regional access to Rover, Nexus and TETCO systems.

Water: Proposed Ohio River cooling-water system with a reported capacity of 150,000 gallons per minute, requiring approximately 12 miles of pipeline infrastructure.

Municipal Utilities: City of New Cumberland potable water and sewer services identified.

Fiber Connectivity: Nearby fiber infrastructure reportedly includes Horizon, Glo and Zayo networks, providing potential connectivity options subject to carrier confirmation.
