SOURCE RECORD

LightEdge Altoona Data Center 1: source record

operational

LightEdge's own specification sheet lists two Des Moines-area data centers at 1435 and 1401 Northridge Circle, Altoona, with combined 78,000 sq ft, 40,000 sq ft whitespace, 6.1 MW critical IT workload and 10.6 MW total generator capacity. The sheet does not split figures per building, so the combined values are recorded on this record and cross-referenced on the second record to avoid double counting.
