DCA-50 is an Amazon data center at 22129 Confederate Road in Elkwood, Culpeper County, Virginia. Virginia DEQ lists it as an active, operating air-permit source flagged as a data center. The air permit covers seventeen emergency diesel generator sets, each limited to 500 operating hours a year. No IT load or utility service figure is published for the site, so its grid draw cannot be sized from these records.
