Status unclear
'The Real Stargate Ohio' (EnergiAcres, Belmont County)
Also called: Stargate Ohio
EnergiAcres says on its website it is planning a 2- to 3-gigawatt AI data center with its own gas power on thousands of acres in Belmont County, opening in 2029. County leaders said they did not know about it. The same company's Mansfield plan was dropped in April 2026.
Where things stand: Only described on the company's website. County commissioners said they had not heard of it. No site named.
🕒 Latest update (June 2026): A resident told Belmont County commissioners about the company's plan; they said it was the first they had heard of it.
