Notes on the record
Clarington, Monroe County; 570 MW via an AEP Ohio LOA, targeted available by end of Q3 2026. Bitdeer transitioning from bitcoin mining toward HPC/AI. Coordinates are the Clarington area centroid. No Clarington-specific capex, water, or jobs figures are disclosed; Bitdeer's 2026 mining capex guidance is company-wide and excludes AI/HPC. Some cooling/jobs figures in secondary coverage describe Bitdeer's separate Shalersville (Portage County) site, not Clarington.
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.
- Cooling method and water use
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- Permanent jobs promised
- Land area
Which document closes each gap
- Cooling method and water use
- The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
- 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.

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.
