Planned

AEP Ohio and Meta plan to redirect power from an unused Intel substation to a Meta data center due to delays in Intel's chip plant construction. Meta would use up to 250 megawatts from the substation temporarily from 2026 through 2028, with Intel regaining full 500 megawatts capacity in 2029. The arrangement ensures no additional costs to customers during the Intel delay.
