November 24, 2025
CleanArc Data Centers has begun construction on its flagship 900MW hyperscale campus in Caroline County, Virginia, with the first 300MW scheduled to come online in early 2027.

CleanArc Data Centers has begun construction on its flagship 900MW hyperscale campus in Caroline County, Virginia, announced in a press release. The facility, known as the VA1 campus, will be built in phases, with the first 300MW expected to come online in the first quarter of 2027, followed by additional 300MW expansions in 2030 and between 2033 and 2035.

The campus is designed to support hyperscale and AI infrastructure growth, incorporating modular design and off-site manufacturing to speed construction. CleanArc said the facility will use closed-loop water systems and other design features to minimize environmental impact, including reduced noise and light pollution.

The project is backed by majority investor Snowhawk and minority investors Nuveen and Townsend Group. CleanArc estimates the VA1 campus will generate about $13 million in annual tax revenue for Caroline County and create 50 permanent jobs, along with hundreds of construction roles over the next several years.

CleanArc’s energy strategy includes a “True Additionality” program, which adds clean energy directly to the regional grid where it is consumed, aligning with the company’s focus on sustainable digital infrastructure.
