# Equinix Ashburn DC21

PJM data center · https://askthegrid.com/assets/facilities/equinix-ashburn-dc21

Equinix Ashburn DC21 is an operating carrier-neutral data-center facility at 22175 Beaumeade Circle in Ashburn. Equinix identifies the site as DC21 and describes its interconnection-oriented colocation context and high-density-power offering. Those service characteristics do not establish a metered load, named utility substation, or capacity commitment, so the profile does not imply any of them. The exact facility location is independently mapped to the PJM-serving utility territory.
