Data center firm Edged Energy has broken ground on a facility outside Columbus, Ohio.
The company this week officially announced plans for a new data center in New Albany. Construction is underway and expected to be completed in July 2025.
Located at 6525 New Albany Road East, the 206,000 sq ft (19,140 sqm) facility will offer 24MW across two stories.
Edged Columbus will be built for high-density Artificial Intelligence workloads and equipped with a waterless cooling system to deliver a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.15.
“We are on a mission to build data centers for positive impact. We are thrilled to be partnering with the New Albany community to support their thriving digital economy in a way that is sustainable and conserves precious local resources. Our highly differentiated platform of technologies is optimized for energy efficiency, water conservation, and top-tier performance,” said Bryant Farland, Edged CEO.
Reports that Edged was expanding into New Albany surfaced late last year.
Edged Energy is part of Endeavour, which was set up by Aligned founder Jakob Carnemark. The company has data centers either operating or in development in Madrid and Barcelona in Spain; Lisbon, Portugal; and across the US including Missouri, Arizona, Texas, Georgia, Iowa, Ohio, and Illinois.
Edged Columbus will be equipped with the ThermalWorks waterless cooling system. The modular system, from Edged’s sister company ThermalWorks, supports densities of up to 70kW per rack with air cooling and 200kW per rack with plug-and-play liquid cooling integration.
“Data centers are key assets to the New Albany community, allowing us to diversify the types of companies within our business portfolio,” said New Albany Mayor Sloan Spalding. “With Edged Data Center's impressive track record of reducing energy and water consumption in addition to investing in local schools, the company's values closely align with our community pillars of environmental sustainability and lifelong learning. I believe Edged will be a perfect fit for New Albany, and I look forward to their involvement in the community.”
