PowerHouse, Poe Companies Team on Kentucky’s First Hyperscale Data Center Campus
PowerHouse Data Centers, a division of American Real Estate Partners, and eal estate developer Poe Companies announced a partnership to develop a 400 MW data center campus in Louisville, KY. The first 130 MW will be available in October 2026.
The companies have secured an initial power capacity of 335 MW for the campus with near-term expansion of up to 402 MW. The power supply will be supported by a new switch station to be built by Louisville Gas and Electric (LG&E) and completed in September 2026, along with a dedicated on-site substation.
“This new data center will create thousands of good-paying jobs here in Louisville,” said Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg. “As the need for data centers grows, Louisville is perfectly positioned to meet the demands of the tech sector.”
This is the seventh new data center development project for PowerHouse in 12 months. The Louisville project adds to 87 data center buildings planned, underway or already delivered.
Headquartered in Louisville, Poe Companies develops multifamily, industrial, and hospitality properties across the U.S. This project is the company’s first data center development.
