# NTT Ashburn VA6 Data Center

PJM data center · https://askthegrid.com/assets/facilities/ntt-ashburn-va6-data-center

NTT Ashburn VA6 is an operating building on NTT's Ashburn campus at 44495 Gigabit Plaza. Project material describes a 180,000-square-foot building with 24 MW of critical IT load. That value remains explicitly a reported IT-load figure for VA6, rather than total campus demand, available grid service, or a transmission commitment. The profile distinguishes NTT's facility role from its construction parties and maps the exact building to the PJM-serving utility territory.
