About the Project

The Chesapeake Data Campus represents the transformation of a retired coal-fired power plant into a next-generation, multi-phase AI and high-performance computing campus designed to anchor Maryland’s clean, reliable, and competitive digital economy.

Engineered for mission-critical, high-density workloads, the campus leverages existing transmission infrastructure and optional gas firming to provide resilient, dispatchable power. This adaptive reuse strategy shortens development timelines and educes environmental impact — showing how historic industrial sites can be thoughtfully repurposed to serve today’s technology-driven economy.
