PJM data center · https://askthegrid.com/assets/facilities/tiktok-data-center

TikTok Data Center is a building data center in Leesburg, Loudoun, VA. True North Data Solutions is identified as the operator. Spatial service-territory evidence associates the site with Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative; the profile assigns the asset to PJM through that documented market role. Reported development, power, and commercial facts retain their source-specific facility, campus, building, or phase scope; the page does not collapse those values into a single implied load.
