Kentucky data centers, in short
Kentucky has 61 data centers identified from primary sources, spread across 26 cities and counties and run by 22 operators. The largest concentration is Louisville, with 18 data centers, followed by Lexington with 7 and Calvert City with 4.
The operators with the most data centers in Kentucky are BluegrassNet (3), CyrusOne (2), QX.Net (2), TeraWulf (2), Flexential (2). Colocation and interconnection providers appear most often because they publish building-level detail; hyperscale campuses appear where the operator or the county names the individual buildings.
Not every operator discloses size. In Kentucky, 10 publish a floor area and 26 publish a power figure, and each figure is shown against the data center it belongs to rather than added into one number. They are not the same measurement: one operator states the floor area of a single building, another the full capacity of a campus it has only announced.
NON-RTO There is no RTO or ISO market in most of Kentucky, so each utility and the state commission set interconnection terms. 1 statewide measure governing data centers is on record, alongside 14 local pauses. 3 named projects in Kentucky are delayed, blocked or under challenge.
