Air and generators

Georgia Environmental Protection Division issued air permit 4911-217-0080-S-01-0 for the VoltaGrid prime-power generation component serving ATL2 at 10835 Hazelbrand Road. The signed permit and agency narrative document a conditional air authorization, not verified operation, all local approvals or disposition of earlier construction allegations. The final agency addendum treats the two facilities as one air-permitting source while retaining separate equipment permits; this does not merge Atlas identities.

Record status: Resolved. Georgia Environmental Protection Division issued the named air permit. Resolved applies only to this permit action; the outcome of earlier construction allegations, actual operation and present compliance are not established.

City of Hilliard reported withdrawing its ERAC appeal of the air permit for AEP Ohio's natural-gas fuel cells serving the AWS Scioto Darby campus. The city described a carbon-dioxide modeling review and planned later monitoring while criticizing limited local review. This records the city's account, not a court merits ruling, measured air quality, all-pollutant safety finding or AWS diesel-generator permit.

Record status: Withdrawn. City of Hilliard reported withdrawing its own ERAC appeal. This is the city's published account, not a retained commission dismissal order, permit revocation, decision on alleged effects or proof of facility operation.

Interior Board of Land Appeals issued a September 1, 2026 stay of the federal Townsite data-center decision, consolidating Boulder City's and the environmental groups' appeals and expediting further review.
