Kentucky's largest utility provider is asking to build two new 645 MW natural gas generating units. A majority of the power will go to new data centers.

Data centers are setting back sustainable energy goals across the country. They also contribute to air and water pollution, Business Insider found.

The two lines from the EfW plant stretch 50 meters underground to the data center, connecting to an external switchboard just outside the main data center building, delivering power at 11kV before being stepped down to 400V for distribution. The dual wire setup provides an A and B supply, each capable of handling the entire data center load.
