About Gaffney Data Center

Cielo Digital Infrastructure Gaffney Data Center in Gaffney, South Carolina is a planned hyperscale data center campus at 000 Ford Road in Cherokee County. The project represents Cielo’s first South Carolina development and brings a large-scale digital infrastructure site to the Upstate region between Spartanburg and Charlotte. The campus is planned for cloud, AI, enterprise, and hyperscale infrastructure users requiring large power availability, campus-scale buildings, and energy-focused development.

The Gaffney campus is planned with 300 MW of total power capacity at full build-out and four data center facilities of approximately 400,000 sq ft each, creating an aggregate planned building footprint of 1.6 million sq ft. The development also includes an associated electrical substation. Cielo’s platform focuses on identifying sites with energy access, resilience, and connectivity suited for data center development, positioning the Gaffney campus for high-density compute and large-scale digital infrastructure deployments.

The site’s Cherokee County location gives the project access to South Carolina’s Upstate industrial corridor, the I-85regional spine, the North Carolina state line, Spartanburg, Charlotte, and broader Southeast data center demand. The project is scheduled for initial operations by year-end 2028, giving the campus a phased development path for large-scale customer deployments. Cielo’s Gaffney project is also one of the largest announced technology infrastructure investments in Cherokee County, reinforcing the region’s growing role in AI-ready and power-intensive digital infrastructure.
