Smartland Energy continues to advance its strategy of developing reliable, locally sited power infrastructure across the Midwest.
This week, our team visited another prospective project location in central Ohio. While details remain confidential, the evaluation underscores Ohio's growing role as a hub for dedicated behind-the-meter power development.
For buyers evaluating where to site large industrial or data-center loads, three things make Ohio worth a closer look:
- Extensive natural-gas transmission infrastructure - proximity to gas supply is one of the four pillars of BTM siting; Ohio has it.
- Industrially zoned sites with brownfield permitting precedent - including former coal sites that qualify for federal energy-community bonus credits.
- Aligned policy environment - state-level support for dedicated generation serving data centers, manufacturing, and advanced industry.
Smartland is actively evaluating multiple candidate sites across the state as part of its mission to deliver resilient, behind-the-meter power where it's needed most. See current initiatives → · Request capacity availability →
