Silicon Foundation Plans 100MW Data Center in West Virginia, USA

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Stokes Inc has announced that the Silicon Foundation has acquired a 15-acre industrial site in Wheeling, West Virginia, USA, to build a 100MW data center campus.

Located at 74 Warwood Avenue, the site was formerly home to Centre Foundry. The Silicon Foundation plans to construct a 60,000-square-foot (approximately 5,575 square meters) facility, with Stokes serving as the EPC general contractor. The site currently has 10MW of active grid access, with plans to first expand to 20-30MW, and eventually develop into a 100MW campus. It is unclear whether the project has been submitted for planning approval.

A spokesperson for West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey stated that the state energy office has not received any applications for data center construction in Warwood or Ohio County. Wheeling City Councilman Tony Assaro said the city council has not been informed of any project information regarding the former Centre Foundry site, though the city is seeking details from the new owner. The Silicon Foundation indicated the project is still under development and declined to provide further details when asked about planning approvals.

Stokes shared an estimated timeline on LinkedIn but did not specify whether these milestones refer to start or completion dates. For the first phase, a 10MW modular data center system, the company mentioned Q4 2026 but did not clarify whether this refers to groundbreaking or delivery; the second phase is similarly listed as Q4 2027.

Stokes claims to have delivered multiple data centers and listed ongoing projects, including a 12MW Compass Mining facility in Oklahoma, a 600MW site near Niagara Falls, New York, and a 6MW data center with a battery energy storage system (BESS) in Buchanan, Virginia. The Silicon Foundation was founded in January 2026 by Val Holovach, the entrepreneur behind the Hiveon platform, an automation and control platform for Bitcoin mining, whose mining pool was shut down on May 13, 2026.
