# NTT Ashburn VA3 Data Center

PJM data center · https://askthegrid.com/assets/facilities/ntt-ashburn-va3-data-center

NTT Ashburn VA3 is an operating NTT facility at 44245 Gigabit Plaza in Ashburn. NTT's public facility material describes VA3 as having 112,000 square feet of data-floor space and 16 MW of critical IT load. That value is retained as a reported VA3 IT-load figure, not total campus demand, available grid service, or an interconnection commitment. The profile distinguishes this building from the larger NTT Ashburn campus and maps it to the PJM-serving utility territory.
