CENTRA: PWM1 Data Center
About PWM1 Data Center
Centra Digital PWM1 Data Center is a planned 28 MW hyperscale and AI-ready data center development in Westbrook, Maine, near the Portland metropolitan market. The facility is designed as a next-generation digital infrastructure campus supporting hyperscale, cloud, AI, and enterprise compute deployments in Northern New England. PWM1 is part of Centra Digital’s strategy to deliver scalable, power-secured infrastructure in emerging regional markets with access to utility capacity, fiber connectivity, and cooler operating climates.
The PWM1 project is planned with a focus on high-density compute infrastructure and scalable expansion capability. Centra Digital positions the development for hyperscale and AI workloads that require large utility allocations, modern cooling approaches, and access to regional network routes serving the Northeastern United States. The site’s Westbrook position supports connectivity into the Portland market while providing geographic diversity outside Boston and Northern Virginia.
Westbrook has become an increasingly attractive infrastructure location due to available industrial land, utility access, climate advantages, and regional fiber connectivity. PWM1’s proximity to Portland International Jetport, Interstate 95, Interstate 295, and the greater Portland business corridor positions the facility for enterprise, AI, cloud, and data-intensive deployments requiring resilient infrastructure in the Northeast. The project also supports Maine’s broader push to expand digital infrastructure investment and economic development activity tied to advanced technology sectors.
