Aligned is committed to paying its fair share, covering the cost of electricity tied to its data centers as well as on-site power generation so that the cost of powering its facilities does not fall on local ratepayers. 

Furthermore, Aligned acts as a “grid safety valve.” During rare regional power emergencies, Aligned can instantly switch to its on-site backup systems, leaving more electricity on the grid for mission-critical homes and hospitals. 

Aligned uses an air-cooled heat rejection system combined with a closed loop system that recycles pure deionized water repeatedly in a sealed environment. This design requires water only for the initial closed-loop cooling system fill and minimally for subsequent maintenance. Following this, water consumption is limited only to essential non-industrial uses, such as restrooms and general amenities. So, the water Aligned would draw for its Pataskala campus is primarily for domestic, everyday use by our onsite employees.

Aligned is committed to being a financial engine for its communities.  The millions in tax revenue generated by its campuses go directly to the things that matter most: local schools, emergency services, and public parks. 

By prioritizing local construction partners and investing in targeted education initiatives, Aligned ensures that the economic benefits of its data centers stay local.  

Aligned also builds direct pipelines that give residents the training required to access the high-paying careers created by the data center industry.

Aligned’s data center sites use a low-impact, discrete and non-intrusive lighting design, featuring downward-facing, fully shielded fixtures and strategically placed landscaping to ensure minimal light spillage and preserve the community’s nighttime environment.

Our cooling systems are also precision-engineered for minimal acoustic impact, operating at sound levels comparable to a normal conversation – and often quieter than a standard residential air conditioning unit.
