On March 20, Energy Secretary Chris Wright broke ground on the PORTS Technology Campus in Piketon, Ohio — a 10‑GW AI data center and 9.2 GW natural gas plant on a mix of federal and private land, with the first 800 MW phase not expected online before 2028 and OpenAI reportedly in line to lease the full campus under an unsigned 20‑year deal. Since March, the Interior Department has paid four groups of offshore wind developers a combined $2.7 billion from the Judgment Fund to surrender nine federal lease areas, including $928 million to TotalEnergies for two leases whose terms did not permit cancellation without a five‑year suspension. If courts allow those buyouts to stand, the same fund could legally be used to cancel other federal land leases, including those for data centers.
