SB Energy is developing a 10.4-GW data center in Ohio, principally driving American Electric Power’s contracted-load increase.

Utility Dive identifies SB Energy as the developer of the 10.4-GW Ohio data-center project. AEP is the utility reporting the associated increase in contracted large loads; the source assigns the companies different roles.

AEP officials said the project was the principal contributor to the 22% increase in contracted large loads to 84 GW. The 10.4-GW figure describes the reported project’s electrical scale, not GPU capacity, server inventory, or computational throughput.

The project is described as being developed, rather than as fully commissioned and drawing its stated load. The supplied excerpt does not name a computing tenant, give a construction budget, identify generation sources, or provide phased energization dates.
