Supervisor Turner releases paper on power sustainability

Loudoun County Board of Supervisor Mike Turner, who represents the Ashburn District, has published a paper titled: Loudoun County, Virginia: Data Center Capital of the World. A Strategy for a Changing Paradigm.

He states: "This paper is intended to form the factual basis for a new policy regarding data center growth in Loudoun County. Stated simply-based on the data, logic and conclusions offered herein-the existing paradigm of power generation, transmission and consumption this nation has relied on for more than a century is simply not capable of providing sufficient power to Loudoun County data centers (and very likely Prince William County data centers) going forward. The demand from that sector of our market environment is too high, and that demand is accelerating rapidly to historic levels."

Turner serves as the chair of the Board of Supervisors Transportation and Land Use Committee.
