Data center operator Edged has launched a data center outside Columbus, Ohio.

The company recently celebrated the opening of its newest data center in New Albany.

Located at 6526 New Albany Road East, the two-story facility delivers 24MW of capacity across 206,000 sq ft (19,140 sqm).

News that Edged was planning a data center in the area surfaced in late 2023, with the company breaking ground in August 2024.

Edged Columbus is fitted with a waterless cooling system from sister company ThermalWorks. The system supports up to 70kW per rack with air cooling and 200kW per rack with plug-and-play liquid cooling.

“This project would not have been possible without the support of the City of New Albany, who has been unwavering in its vision of bringing technology to the region in a thoughtful, sustainable way,” said Bryant Farland, president and CEO of Edged US. “This Edged facility is purpose-built for AI at scale and shows how advanced design can meet growing digital demand. With ultra-energy efficient systems and waterless cooling, we’re delivering reliable capacity while conserving resources and supporting the region’s economic future.”

The event was attended by New Albany Mayor Sloan Spalding, New Albany officials, local electric utility provider AEP, and project partners.

“New Albany’s International Business Park has become a leading destination for data centers and mission-critical operations, and Edged Columbus is an outstanding addition to that momentum,” said Mayor Sloan Spalding, City of New Albany.

Edged (formerly Edged Energy) is part of Endeavour, which was set up by Aligned founder Jakob Carnemark.

Edged US said it has a gigawatt-scale project pipeline. The firm currently has data centers in operation or construction across Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Des Moines, Kansas City, and Phoenix.

Microsoft is currently building in the New Albany area, with AWS and Google also having a large footprint around the Columbus area, including in Licking County’s New Albany. Meta also has a campus in New Albany.

The likes of Vantage, EdgeConneX, and CyrusOne are also planning data centers in the city.
