Data centers & crypto mining in Ohio
Data centers and cryptocurrency-mining operations are large electricity consumers that show up inside Ohio's commercial and industrial load. EIA does not publish a facility-level data-center inventory, so the figures below pair reported commercial and industrial sales with EIA estimates of data-center and crypto-mining electricity demand.
No state-level EIA estimate of cryptocurrency-mining load is available for Ohio; mining is concentrated in a handful of states.
