Dedicated Power in Ohio
One of the most active behind-the-meter development markets in the country - and the center of Smartland's active site pipeline.
Why Eastern Ohio
Eastern Ohio sits at the intersection of three procurement-relevant factors: gas pipeline accessfrom one of North America's most productive supply regions, industrial-zoned land suitable for generation and large-load campuses, and energy-community bonus eligibility that can improve project economics.
Ohio has become one of the country's most active markets for dedicated behind-the-meter (BTM) generation serving data centers - which also means competition for sites and capacity is accelerating.

View the initiative →Capacity for 2028
Initial capacity is targeted to come online in Q3 2028, reserved in sequence at a defined Point of Delivery.
How reservation works →Built for Large Loads
The platform serves 100-300 MW air-cooled data center deployments and up to 400 MW for liquid-cooled, high-density AI infrastructure - delivered through an N+2 architecture with modular 10 MW RICE generation, A/B power at the POD, and a contract-backed SLA suitable for procurement, lender, and investor diligence.
Also Evaluating
Ohio anchors the pipeline, but it doesn't end there: Southwest Virginia sits inside the same PJM footprint with proximity to data-center growth corridors, and additional sites are under review as part of the active development pipeline.
