Tools, model checks and content for Autodesk® Revit® software, for contractors, engineers and owners building data centers in Kentucky, from Louisville to Paducah. We work with your team remotely.
Served remotely. SS Technologies is a remote company. We have no office in Kentucky and we don't claim Kentucky clients. The projects named on this page are public examples of work in the state. We have no involvement in them.
In January 2026, the Louisville campus was described as the only data center project under construction in the state. By August, a 1.8 GW project had been announced in Paducah and a statewide map showed more than 20 proposals. For design and construction teams, that means big, repetitive buildings and a lot of power equipment, with a limited local workforce.
Louisville campus on Camp Ground Road by PowerHouse and Poe Companies, with its first 130 MW of power planned for October 2026. In January 2026 it was described as an $11B project and the only data center in the state under construction.
hyperscale project planned at the former gaseous diffusion plant site in Paducah: $100B+, about 2 GW of natural gas generation, up to 2.6 GW of batteries and about 8,000 construction jobs. Announced July 29, 2026.
on a statewide map of data center proposals, including several of 1 GW or more, alongside moratoria in some counties and at least one withdrawn proposal.
of sales and use tax exemption, extended statewide by HB 775 in 2025. Minimum investment: $450M in counties of 100,000+ people, $100M in counties of 50,000–100,000, and $25M in counties under 50,000.
The Louisville campus is planned at about 1.6M sq ft. That total includes office, utility and security buildings, plus seven data center buildings of about 219,534 sq ft each.
Buildings of the same size on one campus are a natural fit for a prototype-and-copy approach. Where buildings share a design, a fix to the prototype has to reach every copy. Without a tool, one change becomes the same edit in seven models, plus re-issued sheets for every building.
Source: DCD, planning commission recommends approval for 1.6M sq ft Louisville data center. The steps below are an illustration of the method, not this project's design or data.
Building 1 is modeled once, with racks numbered by hall, row and position, for example DH1-A-01.
The tool copies it to buildings 2 to 7, sets each one's shared coordinates and adds a building prefix to every ID: B2-DH1-A-01, B3-DH1-A-01 and so on.
Views, sheets, tags and schedules for every hall in every building, from one sheet list and one naming rule.
from one sheet listWhen a row moves or a rack type changes in the prototype, the change goes to every copy, and a report lists what differs building by building.
every revisionProjects like the one planned in Paducah pair the data center with its own generation and batteries. More switchgear, transformers, UPS and distribution means more upstream IDs and more A/B paths to keep in line with the one-line diagram.
When power arrives in phases over several years, the model has to show which racks, feeds and cooling belong to which phase, and how much load each phase carries.
Some APS usage is metered and billed by Autodesk to your account. We estimate usage before we build.
Beyond Louisville and Paducah, proposals are spread across the state, from eastern Kentucky to the Ohio River counties. They are proposals, not projects under construction, and some face local moratoria.
| Location | Proposal as reported | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Mason County | 1.2 GW, by an undisclosed "Fortune 100" company | Proposal |
| Barren County | 1.2 GW | Proposal |
| Mercer County | Up to 1.3 GW (Panattoni) | Proposal |
| Boyd and Greenup counties (Ashland area) | Up to 1 GW (TeraWulf) | Proposal |
| Hancock County | 482 MW (TeraWulf) | Proposal |
| Carroll County | $9.6B (Poe and PowerHouse) | Proposal |
| Pike County | 25–30 MW | Proposal |
| Lexington | DartPoints expansion | Blocked by a moratorium |
| Bell and Fayette counties | – | Moratoria in place |
| Oldham County | – | Proposal withdrawn |
A 25–30 MW project doesn't justify weeks of template and family setup. A ready data center Revit kit with shared parameters, filters and schedules lets a small team start the model on day one.
A 1 GW campus repeats buildings and halls many times. Campus copy tools, sheets per hall and owner-standard checks keep every building consistent.
HB 775 (2025) extended the sales and use tax exemption for data centers statewide, for up to 50 years. The minimum investment drops to $25M in counties under 50,000 people, so smaller sites outside the big metros can qualify as well as gigawatt campuses.

Proposed data center guardrails (HB 593, then language added to SB 197) were stripped at the end of the 2026 legislative session. They may come back in 2027.

What this means for your tools: when rules may change mid-project, build checks on rules you can edit. We build tools that read their limits and naming rules from a settings table your team controls, so a new owner requirement or a new local rule is a settings change, not a rebuild. The rules and values themselves come from your engineer of record and your consultants.
The Paducah project alone is expected to bring about 8,000 construction jobs. Nationally, Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) estimates the industry needs 349,000 net new construction workers in 2026 and names data center demand for electricians as a driver (EC&M).
Prefab is one answer contractors use. DPR Construction reports prefabricating 25 electrical rooms on 2 MW skids, saving just under 15,000 onsite electrician hours, about $1.8M (DPR). Every one of those skids still needs sheets, numbers and a bill of materials.
Pilot $750–$1,500. Builds $4,000–$15,000. Prefab details
About weights: weights come from the model and are for estimating and logistics only, not for rigging or lift plans.
Every job has a price agreed in writing before work begins, in US dollars. Prices exclude any applicable taxes.

Our tools apply rules and values that your engineer of record provides. Their outputs are drafting and data aids, not engineering calculations, code-compliance reviews or sealed documents. Your licensed professionals review the results and remain responsible for the design.
Whether your team works out of Louisville, Lexington or a site office in western Kentucky, the way we work is the same:
SS Technologies is a remote company. Before any file changes hands, we confirm in writing our registered entity and where your data would be accessed from, so you can check it against your contract (for example, US-persons-only access, background checks or CUI). If your project restricts who can see files, tell us on the scoping call.
No. SS Technologies is a remote company. We serve Kentucky teams remotely, with written replies within one US business day and live calls scheduled within US business hours by arrangement.
No. They're public examples of data center work in Kentucky, listed with their sources. We never name a client's company or project without written permission.
It can, if they share a core design. The tool copies what's shared and keeps a list of what's different per building, such as orientation, levels or utility connections. On the scoping call we look at how much really repeats before recommending it.
No. Our tools apply rules and values that your engineer of record provides. They check that the model matches the one-line and the rules you set. Their outputs are drafting and data aids, not engineering calculations, code-compliance reviews or sealed documents. Your licensed professionals review the results and remain responsible for the design.
A $500 model health check, or a fixed-price pilot of $750–$1,500 with a written acceptance test. If the pilot doesn't pass the written acceptance test on the agreed Revit version, we fix it at no charge. If it still doesn't pass within 10 business days of your test report, we refund the pilot fee in full. This doesn't cover changes to the scope, the test model or the Revit version after the scope is signed.
