Virginia DEQ, Issued Air Permits for Data Centers
Last updated
, 194 permit records

How this was built

We copied every row of DEQ's list (site name, locality, registration and permit number, issuance date and permit type) and opened each linked permit to record the facility address where the permit states one. We did not add operators, because DEQ does not list them and many site names are property-holding companies.

For context, the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission counted about 150 data center sites and about 340 buildings in Virginia in its December 2024 report, with 80 percent of the industry in Loudoun, Prince William and Fairfax (JLARC Report 598). JLARC built its own map from DEQ permit data and county real estate records.

Limits of this data

  • An air permit is not a building count. One permit can cover a campus of several buildings, and one site can hold several permits; the list has 194 records for 183 registration numbers.
  • A permit does not show whether a facility is built or operating, and sites below permitting thresholds are not listed.
  • The list includes enterprise and government sites (banks, a health system, federal agencies) as well as colocation and hyperscale campuses. We did not filter them.
  • Site names are DEQ's “Air Site Name”, often the property owner, which can differ from the company that runs the data center.
  • The list does not give generator capacity, and backup generator capacity would not equal power demand in any case.
