West Virginia has moved from data center afterthought to serious contender. Its 2025 microgrid law lets large compute campuses generate power on-site, and it's already drawn a multi-billion-dollar build to the Ohio River — with thousands of construction jobs attached.
A snapshot of the major builds and clusters driving hiring demand across West Virginia.
A ~$5B, 2,000-acre AI data center campus near Point Pleasant, designed to run on an on-site microgrid — estimated at 5,500+ construction jobs and 125 permanent roles.
The 2025 Power Generation and Consumption Act lets certified campuses self-power, bypassing grid-interconnection delays — a magnet for new builds.
WV's deep base of power, gas and industrial trades maps directly onto data center construction.
