FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 7, 2025

DAVIS, W.Va.— The Town of Davis will hold a public informational town hall on the proposed Fundamental Data’s Ridgeline Facility, a large natural gas power plant proposed to be built approximately two miles north of Davis and Thomas. The town hall will take place on Sunday, April 13 at 2 p.m. at the Davis Volunteer Fire Hall. This meeting is an opportunity for community members to learn more about the proposed facility, ask questions and hear from local leaders.

The proposed facility would cover about 500 acres just north of Davis and Thomas — next to the landfill — and includes a series of natural gas and diesel powered generators. It would produce 1656MW of power, more than the nearby Mount Storm power plant, but will not be connected to the grid. Instead, all the electricity generated would be used on-site, possibly for a large data center or similar facility. The proposed project also includes on-site storage of 30,000,000 gallons of diesel fuel.

Fundamental Data has applied for an air permit with the WV Department of Environmental Protection to emit carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate matter (PM), lead and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs).

All interested residents and stakeholders are encouraged to attend.
