Find the best locations
for new data center construction.
Atlaxos analyzes energy availability, fiber connectivity, land, regulatory fit, and more to surface the highest-potential U.S. counties for new data center construction.
Sample Greenfield Opportunity Analysis (Virginia)
High-fidelity suitability assessment for emerging data center hubs.
Virginia, USA
Augusta County
Why Build Here
Dual Dominion + AEP utility territory with two independent power paths. County actively drafting a dedicated data center ordinance. 500+ acres of pre-cleared industrial land at the Shenandoah Valley Industrial Center.
Risk Factors
- Ordinance not yet finalized — first application may face process uncertainty
- AEP side has historically lower spare transmission capacity than Dominion
Recommended Action
Contact Augusta County EDA
Virginia, USA
Montgomery County
Why Build Here
Virginia Tech Internet2 node provides high-capacity research network access. Lowest LMP energy pricing in Virginia (~4.9¢/kWh). High elevation and cool climate reduce cooling costs year-round.
Risk Factors
- No DC zoning ordinance yet — county must act before permitting can begin
- AEP transmission capacity requires new infrastructure for hyperscale loads
Recommended Action
Engage NRV Commerce Park IDA
Virginia, USA
Brunswick County
Why Build Here
Southern terminus of PJM-approved $4.8B HVDC transmission line delivering 3,000MW by 2032. Rural land at ~$8–12K/acre with tobacco-region incentives and no competing data center presence.
Risk Factors
- HVDC converter station completes June 2032 — 6-year infrastructure lead time
- No existing DC ordinance — first application will set precedent
