U.S. 6), Spanish Fork Canyon, Utah; Amazon (AWS) at AWS data center campus, Scioto Darby Road (Hilliard area) with AEP Ohio fuel cell plant, Ohio; DataOne at DataOne AI factory campus (Logix Innovation Campus), Indiana. Why fuel cells instead of gas turbines? A fuel cell converts fuel electrochemically, without combustion, so it runs quiet, emits no NOx and can be permitted and sited where a turbine plant cannot. It produces firm baseload rather than variable output, which is what a constant compute load needs. How does SAVRN use fuel cells? SAVRN's Proton plant is the on-site baseload for an Atom block: fuel cells sized to the block's 13.2 MW envelope, with grid-forming storage for transients, islanding and black start, so the campus never waits on a utility interconnection queue. Proton is a reference design verified per site; it is described on its solutions page, not ranked against operating sites here. How much fuel cell capacity is planned nationally? The permits tracker's EIA-860M read has no planned fuel cell generators on file at the moment.

Each reference is primary-sourced, refreshed on a schedule, and links into the others, so a project can be followed from the money committed to the docket that stopped it.
