PJM data center · https://askthegrid.com/assets/facilities/qts-ashburn-1

QTS Ashburn 1 is an operating QTS data-center facility at 22271 Broderick Drive in Sterling. Its public facility label and address distinguish it from QTS Ashburn 2 and the separately withheld Lockridge records with ambiguous duplicate labels. The profile avoids inferring an individual electrical load, serving substation, or transmission commitment from regional context. The exact facility location is independently mapped to the PJM-serving utility territory.
