Dickerson Data Center Campus
Reimagining a Legacy Energy Site
for the Digital Future
The Dickerson Data Center Campus represents the reuse of a long-standing industrial and utility property in Montgomery County, Maryland.
Located on approximately 110 acres within the existing 750+ acre Dickerson energy campus, the project is planned on vacant land that historically supported power plant operations. It does not encroach on the Agricultural Reserve and builds within an established heavy industrial setting where transmission lines and substations already exist.
What makes this project different:
Built on an existing energy campus — not greenfield land and not within the Agricultural Reserve.
Leverages existing transmission infrastructure — reducing the need for new off-site utility expansion.
Invests in modern on-site electrical facilities and emissions controls designed to operate under current environmental standards.
Is designed to use water systems engineered to operate at a fraction of the former power plant’s historic demand, subject to full state oversight.
Transforms a historic industrial site into a stable, long-term economic contributor, generating tax revenue and construction employment while producing lower traffic and operational impacts than the site’s former power plant use.
