Arkansas approves 40 gas turbines for Clarksville data center

Original: Clarksville data center’s planned 40 gas turbines OK’d by Arkansas Division of Environmental Quality

The Arkansas Division of Environmental Quality has approved a permit allowing 40 gas turbines to power a planned data center in Clarksville. The decision, reported by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, clears a key regulatory hurdle for the project. It is likely to fuel local debate over air quality, energy demand and the environmental footprint of large data centers in the state.

Why now: Regulatory approval for a large gas-powered data center raises environmental and energy concerns at a time of booming data center growth.
