ACS Digital & Energy, the data center unit of Spain's ACS Group, proposes a data center called Project Riverbend on the site of the former AEP Muskingum River power plant in Waterford Township. Turner Construction, an ACS company, would build it, working with Continuum Partners. The Southeastern Ohio Port Authority and the Belpre-Parkersburg Industrial Railroad bought the cleared plant site in 2021, and the Muskingum River substation remains on the property.
ACS disclosed the project in a September 2026 letter to Washington County. It has not stated the project's size or schedule.
