Ohio: America's Data Hub
The Columbus region is an excellent choice for data-heavy companies needing information technology facilities. In recent years, dozens of data centers have opened here for companies like Facebook, Amazon and Google, as well as two AEP data centers. State tax exemptions on data center equipment and municipal property tax exemptions make building your next data center here an attractive option. We provide a full suite of energy solutions in Ohio, including extensive transmission infrastructure with redundant and alternate feeds, renewable generation, on-site backup power and energy efficiency upgrades.
