Data Centers
The SCEDC was contacted by The New North whom with its partners, WE Energies, Kimberly-Clark, BURR Computer Environments, and Wisconsin Public Service, believes north-eastern Wisconsin has a geographic advantage to accommodate data center operations. The New North and partners conducted an opportunity analysis.
Opportunity Analysis: Data Centers in the New North
The New North asked the SCEDC to assemble a list of sites that meet their criteria to identify ideal locations for a data center in Sheboygan County. The criteria included:
- More than one telecommunication provider (telecommunication neutrality)
- Access to all utilities
- Electrical feeds from two substations
- Minimum distances from externalities such as power generation stations and transportation corridors
All criteria and available sites are explained in our report entitled: Greenfield Data Center Sites: Qualified Locations in Sheboygan County and in the attachments viewable below.
