Together, we're creating a cleaner, safer, and more prosperous future.
Balico Technology Campus
Project Overview
Balico is committed to clean and responsible energy production while benefiting the community. Data centers are a growing need in our modern economy because they support commerce, social media, and AI. The campus will also house a power plant that meets or exceeds EPA’s Best Available Control Technology (BACT) standards, ensuring minimal emissions. Emissions from the plant are significantly lower than those from coal-fired plants and common urban pollution sources. Phase one is expected to be operational in 2026.
