Connecticut Data Center Opportunity Expansion

Description:

Global Common LLC is developing a 300 MW data center campus on a 130-acre industrial site in Cromwell, with expansion potential exceeding 500 MW. The project benefits from direct access to three interstate natural gas pipelines via Enbridge, enabling on-site fuel cell generation with redundant, firm gas supply.

The development is positioned as an anchor energy user, with long-term gas transportation agreements underway. High-efficiency fuel cells, heat recovery systems, and the Northeast climate contribute to lower operating costs compared to southeastern U.S. markets. The site also offers strong fiber connectivity between New York City and Boston, supporting hyperscale and enterprise tenants. Projected COD is Q2 2028, with strong municipal support already secured.
