Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 13, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Adams Fork Energy Campus Data Center (Twisted Gun Golf Course, Wharncliffe) in Wharncliffe, Mingo County, West Virginia appears in the sources this registry tracks. That is an absence in our sources rather than a finding that none exists, and local opposition often predates any coverage a national dataset would pick up.

If you live near this site and something is happening that this page does not show, that is worth telling us. Send us the document and it goes in the record with the source attached. For sites where opposition is already established, see every contested site we track.

Notes on the record

Proposed at the former Twisted Gun Golf Course site in Wharncliffe, Mingo County, to be powered exclusively by the co-located off-grid natural-gas plant (tracked separately as of September 2026 as the Adams Fork Energy Campus Power Plant, Twisted Gun Golf Course, Wharncliffe; WV DEP permit R13-3714, approved October 2, 2025). No data-center-specific capacity, investment, or job figures distinct from the power plant were found as of 2026-09-10; reporting describes the plant and data center as a single 'energy campus' without separately quantifying the data center building. Part of TransGas's larger 'Adams Fork Energy' project alongside a proposed large natural-gas ammonia plant. The record is marked reported rather than confirmed (as of 2026-09-10): the WV DEP permit numbers and their 2025-10-02 approval are reported consistently by two independent organisations, but the permit documents themselves (R13-3714 and R13-3715) could not be retrieved from dep.wv.gov as of September 2026, so the sourcing is advocacy-group reporting rather than the primary record.

What the record does not establish, and the document that would

In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.

Power capacity in megawatts
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
Permanent jobs promised
Land area
How the community has received it
Which utility serves it

Which document closes each gap

Power capacity in megawatts: The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
Tax abatements or other public subsidy: The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
Permanent jobs promised: The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
Land area: The rezoning application, the plat, or the deed recorded with the county.
How the community has received it: Planning commission and governing body minutes, public comment records, and any petition or lawsuit filed in the county.
Which utility serves it: The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.

Have one of these documents? Send it to us and we will add it to the record with attribution.

Distances are between recorded coordinates, many of which are a city or county centroid, so treat them as approximate. Cumulative load on one utility and one aquifer is the question a planning commission rarely asks.
