Property: AEP Ohio Ultra-Low Power Greenfield Site – 100+ MW Scalable Crypto/Data Center LandAsking Price: Contact for Details (Confidential Land Sale – Development-Ready Parcel in AEP Territory)

Overview

Prime greenfield industrial land in AEP Ohio's service territory, strategically positioned near high-voltage substations for rapid interconnection and supporting 100+ MW (scalable to higher with upgrades) of power-intensive operations like large-scale crypto mining, AI compute, or edge data centers. This site offers ultra-competitive industrial electricity economics—targeting effective blended rates under 2¢/kWh for qualifying large loads through AEP's structured tariffs, industrial contracts, and demand-response options (energy component often in the low-1¢ range + low demand charges). In a mining-friendly state with no bans and pro-business policies, it's ideal for modular/containerized buildout in a cooler climate that minimizes cooling OPEX and boosts hardware efficiency. Ohio's grid strength and economic incentives make this a high-ROI opportunity amid surging demand for low-cost, reliable power in the Midwest.

Key Specifications

• Land Size: Flexible parcel (e.g., 40–100+ acres available; scalable based on needs)
• Location: AEP Ohio territory (specific site details provided under NDA; near major transmission corridors and substations for fast tie-in)
• Zoning: Industrial/flexible – suitable for heavy commercial, data center, or power-intensive development
• Power Capacity: 100+ MW supported (expandable via AEP interconnection; proximity to substations/transmission lines enables high-load commitments)
• Utility/Interconnection: AEP Ohio – direct access to robust grid; large-load tariffs (e.g., Data Center Tariff for >25 MW) provide structured rates with minimum commitments for infrastructure protection
• Power Economics: Ultra-low effective rates under 2¢/kWh all-in for large committed loads (leveraging low energy component ~1¢/kWh range + demand charges ~$3–$5/kW; among the nation's lowest for industrial scale via AEP tariffs and wholesale/PJM dynamics)
• Infrastructure Readiness: Ample space for mining containers, substations/transformers, cooling systems, security fencing, and expansion buffers; flat, developable terrain ready for rapid modular buildout
• Development Fit: Low residential density minimizes noise/heat complaints; modular design enables fast deployment and phased scaling (start at 50–100 MW, expand rapidly); Ohio’s cooler climate significantly reduces cooling costs and improves ASIC/GPU efficiency
• Regulatory Environment: No statewide or local bans on crypto mining; Ohio remains supportive with protections against discriminatory regs (e.g., Blockchain Basics Act influences); local EDCs offer incentives for job-creating projects

Financial & Market Position

• Power Cost Edge: Ultra-low rates dominate mining profitability, providing a massive competitive advantage over higher-cost regions (e.g., vs. ERCOT or PJM averages); shielded from volatility through industrial tariffs
• Revenue Potential: High IRR from low opex, scalable MW, and efficient operations; ideal for self-mining, colocation, or AI/high-density compute amid growing demand
• Comparable Value: Recent Midwest industrial land deals for power-intensive sites reflect premiums; new interconnection and development costs alone can exceed $10–$20M/MW-scale, bypassing queue delays here
• Incentives: Potential tax abatements, EDC grants, and economic development support available for qualifying projects

Why This Represents Strong Value

Securing a site with under 2¢/kWh economics in AEP Ohio territory is increasingly rare amid surging data center/AI demand and new large-load tariffs requiring commitments (e.g., 85% minimum billing for >25 MW). This parcel offers near-substation access, scalability to 100+ MW, and fast-track potential—delivering superior margins vs. higher-rate regions or delayed greenfield builds. Replacement costs (land, studies, upgrades) would far exceed this opportunity in today's market.
