Every Data Center in Georgia: Operating, Under Construction, and Proposed

A running directory of every data center campus in Georgia as of September 2026: ten operating hyperscale campuses, thirteen under construction, forty-nine proposals led by OpenAI's 3.2-gigawatt Effingham County project, eleven withdrawn or rejected, and eighteen colocation operators by metro, plus the state's 10-gigawatt gas and battery build and the fifty-odd local moratoriums. Every row is sourced and the list is updated as projects move.

This page counts every data center campus Georgia has, is building, has been offered, or has turned away, as of September 30, 2026. The tally: ten operating hyperscale and wholesale campuses, thirteen under construction, forty-nine live proposals, eleven withdrawn, rejected, or stalled, and eighteen colocation and enterprise operators by metro, from the carrier hotels on Marietta Street in downtown Atlanta to a converted Visa processing center in Columbus. The state’s own auditors counted 63 active data centers, 35 under construction, and 249 announced at the end of 2025. In August 2026 CBRE reported that metro Atlanta had 2,882 MW of data center capacity under construction, more than Northern Virginia for the first time and more than any market in North America, with vacancy at 1.4 percent. Southern Company, Georgia Power’s parent, said the same month that its contracted large-load pipeline had reached 17 gigawatts, six of them signed in a single quarter, against a system that peaks near 17 gigawatts today.

The gold dome above is the Georgia State Capitol in Atlanta, where the 2026 session ended at one in the morning on April 3 without passing any of the dozen data center bills filed that winter: not the ratepayer protection bill that cleared the House 159 to 5, not the Senate’s repeal of the sales tax exemption, not either moratorium. The fights moved instead to the Public Service Commission, which now has two Democrats for the first time since 2000, and to county commissions, where roughly one in five Georgia counties has adopted or is drafting a data center ordinance or moratorium. The largest single project in the state’s history, OpenAI’s 3.2-gigawatt campus in Effingham County, was announced in July and had its power contract deemed approved in August. The national pattern behind these fights is covered in our reporting on the data center backlash and on who pays for the buildout; this page is the ledger, and every row traces to a source listed at the end.

At a glance

Status Projects Disclosed capacity
Operating hyperscale and wholesale 10 About 1 GW, mixing live and build-out figures
Under construction 13 About 1.5 GW where disclosed
Proposed or pending 49 About 14 GW where disclosed
Withdrawn, rejected, or stalled 11 About 3.2 GW
Colocation and enterprise 18 operators by metro About 400 MW disclosed

Capacity is the sum of megawatts a developer, county filing, utility, or regulator has put on the record for that bucket; Georgia developers file square footage and acreage with the state’s Developments of Regional Impact program far more often than megawatts, so the totals understate the pipeline. For scale, CBRE put Atlanta’s operating inventory at 1,459 MW at the end of 2025, up 459 MW in a year, and Georgia Power told regulators in November 2025 that its total large-load pipeline stood at 50.9 GW, of which 11 GW across 28 projects was under contract. Since the 2023 planning cycle, 33 data center projects representing 11,332 MW have dropped out of that pipeline, about five a quarter.

Operating hyperscale campuses

Georgia’s first data center corridor runs along the Chattahoochee River, which forms Douglas County’s border with Fulton County west of Atlanta. Google has operated in Lithia Springs since 2007, Switch’s The Keep and Csquare’s four halls sit on Riverside Parkway, and Aligned, Flexential, DataBank, DC BLOX, and STACK have all filed for or built campuses on the river roads between Lithia Springs and Douglasville. The county responded in 2026 with a moratorium on new applications while it studies what the campuses mean for its electric ratepayers.

The one campus that changes the state’s scale is in Fayetteville, twenty miles south of the airport, where QTS is building 13 data halls on 928 acres and Microsoft has leased the first of them for what it calls an AI superfactory: 340 megawatts of IT load running since October 2025, more than doubling by the end of 2026, on a campus that will need about 1,500 megawatts when done. The city of Fayetteville answered in March 2026 by prohibiting new data centers in every zoning district; the QTS campus, in unincorporated Fayette County, was unaffected. Microsoft’s other move of the summer was stranger: in August it asked Fulton and Douglas counties to void its own property tax abatements, worth $17.1 million at East Point and $14.6 million at Palmetto, and pay full assessed value.

Amazon’s two Georgia campuses, in Covington and in Butts County near Jackson, are the visible part of the $11 billion the company announced for the state in January 2025; the Covington one comes with a $100 million reclaimed-water plant the city council approved in December 2025 so the campus does not draw potable water for cooling. Serverfarm’s Covington site is the state’s first behind-the-meter case: VoltaGrid began installing a 90-megawatt gas plant before its air permits were final, and in July 2026 the Environmental Protection Division ordered the work stopped. The pattern of private generation attached to a campus is examined in our behind-the-meter reporting.

Proposed and pending

The next ring of campuses is landing in the pasture and pine country an hour or more from Atlanta: Coweta County to the southwest, where Prologis’s 900-megawatt Project Sail was rezoned 3 to 2 in April 2026 and a residents’ petition for a referendum passed 12,000 signatures by August; Monroe County to the south, where Forsyth approved a 12-million-square-foot campus and Google bought 949 acres beside another; Bartow County to the northwest, with a 1,300-megawatt Digital Realty-managed campus permitted at Stilesboro; and the Savannah River corridor, where OpenAI’s campus at Rincon and three Columbia County parks near Augusta were filed within a year of each other.

Three things stand out. Project Camellia is a different order of magnitude from anything else on the list: 3,210 megawatts of peak load, phased from 2028 to 2032, which Georgia Power’s chief executive admitted “pushes us beyond our recently approved capacity by right around 1 GW”; the commission never voted on the contract but let it take effect under a 30-day rule after staff extracted safeguards, including a promise that residential bills would fall by at least $15 a month from 2029 to 2031. Second, most of the megawatt figures above are the developer’s full buildout, not a commitment from a utility; Project Arrowhead in Irwin County has an energy study and no interconnection agreement, and Kingston, filed on September 8, was the 17th data center Development of Regional Impact submitted to the state this year. Third, Spalding County approved three campuses in twelve months and none has pulled a land-disturbance permit, which is why the Griffin Daily News asked in September whether data centers there are dead.

Withdrawn, rejected, or paused

“If all of those data centers are up and running, that’s like moving the population of San Jose into Monroe County.”

That was Jordan Burnsed, a Bolingbroke resident who works as a data center consultant, at the July 2025 zoning hearing where Monroe County’s board voted 5 to 0 against a 900-acre technology park on Highway 41; the county commission followed with a unanimous denial, the landowners sued, and the county passed a moratorium. The pattern has repeated across the state’s exurbs: the denials below drew 121 opposition letters in Coweta, a 2,225-signature petition in Bartow, and a school-traffic fight in Clayton that turned a $13 billion, 1,250-megawatt campus into a housing proposal.

Colocation and enterprise facilities

Atlanta’s interconnection market is two buildings on Marietta Street downtown: 56 Marietta, the former Telx carrier hotel that Digital Realty runs as ATL13 and that houses Equinix’s AT2 and AT3, and 55 Marietta across the street, the former Colo Atl that American Tower bought in 2019 and folded into CoreSite as AT1. The growth has moved a mile north to Midtown, where DataBank’s ATL1 opened in 2019 inside the Coda tower at Georgia Tech’s Tech Square with the university as anchor tenant, and to the White Street and Donnelly Avenue complexes in the West End where DataBank and EdgeConneX have built out.

Because metro Atlanta has dozens of colocation buildings, this table lists one row per operator per metro rather than one per building. Every row was checked against the operator’s own site, an operator-maintained PeeringDB facility record, or a news report, not a directory listing alone. Several familiar names have changed: Cyxtera and Evoque became Centersquare in 2024 and Csquare in 2025, INAP’s Atlanta flagship is now Evocative and the HorizonIQ brand is a tenant in other operators’ halls, Peak 10 is Flexential, Sungard Availability Services is 365 Data Centers, zColo is DataBank, and Colo Atl is CoreSite. Directory entries for Cologix, Ascent, Equinix’s Norcross AT5 (reported closed in 2024), DC BLOX’s Druid Hills edge site, and the state’s North Atlanta Data Center were left out until an address can be confirmed.

QTS and Switch also sell retail cabinets at their Atlanta, Suwanee, and Lithia Springs campuses, but those sites are counted in the hyperscale table. Augusta has no retail colocation operator that could be verified: the Georgia Cyber Center publishes no colocation offering, T5’s Gordon Highway site became QTS’s Project Eisenhower, and Columbia County’s broadband utility has a PeeringDB record but no public product. Columbus is the notable story outside Atlanta, where the former TSYS processing center on Corporate Ridge Parkway is being refitted by Duos Edge AI for GPU pods under a $111 million contract signed in July.

That was Alicia Johnson, one of the two Democrats who won seats on the Public Service Commission in November 2025 in the first Democratic PSC victories since 2000, speaking to Time in March 2026. Her arrival did not change the outcomes. The commission had already frozen Georgia Power’s base rates through 2028 in July 2025, approved an integrated resource plan calling for 6,000 to 8,500 MW of new resources and keeping the Bowen and Scherer coal units running as late as 2038, and on December 19, 2025 voted 5 to 0 to certify 9,885 MW of new supply: five combined-cycle gas units at Bowen, Wansley, and McIntosh totaling 3,692 MW, ten battery sites totaling 3,022 MW, two solar-plus-storage projects, and about 2,821 MW of purchased power, about 80 percent of it for data centers, at a lifetime cost the Southern Environmental Law Center put at $50 billion to $60 billion. Staff testimony had found only about 1,900 MW of that was backed by executed contracts. In February 2026 the new commission refused, 3 to 2 on party lines, to reconsider, and Georgia Power broke ground at Plant Wansley on April 30 with its chief executive saying data centers “are allowing us to keep rates flat.” Georgia’s four reactors at Plant Vogtle, the last two of which cost about $24 billion, are the reason the utility can make that argument at all; they are examined in our nuclear reporting.

The framework for who pays is the commission’s January 2025 rule: customers over 100 megawatts sign 15-year contracts with minimum bills, pay the generation, transmission, and distribution costs they cause, and owe termination fees if they leave, with every such contract filed for a 30-day review. That review is how the OpenAI contract was approved in August without a vote. The grid side is a 1,065-mile transmission plan over ten years, against 50 miles in the 2022 plan, including a 35-mile 500-kilovolt line from Fayette County to Plant Wansley that crosses about 300 properties; Georgia Power says eminent domain is used in fewer than one percent of its transactions, and a Coweta-area homeowner told Fortune her childhood home is among them. The electric cooperatives have their own build: Oglethorpe Power broke ground in May on a 1,425-megawatt, $3.3 billion gas plant in Monroe County, which it says is not for data centers.

The legislature did nothing. The sales tax exemption for data centers, which the state auditor says forgave $474 million in 2025 and will forgive $867 million a year by 2030 while about 70 percent of the construction would have happened anyway, survived a 2024 pause bill that Governor Kemp vetoed and a 2026 repeal that passed the Senate on Crossover Day and died in the House; the ratepayer bill that passed the House 159 to 5 died in a Senate committee, and the Senate’s version was rewritten until its own sponsor said it “offers no protection to our consumers.” The Data Center Coalition’s members stayed out of the news; the Georgia Chamber did not. Water is regulated mostly by omission: the Environmental Protection Division says most campuses buy from local utilities and need no withdrawal permit, and the metro water district’s guidance notes that an evaporatively cooled campus can use 9 million gallons a day while a closed-loop one uses 5,000 to 50,000. Local governments filled the gap. By June 2026 the Ledger-Enquirer counted 34 counties and 23 cities with data center ordinances or moratoriums; since then Cobb, Hall, Cherokee, Floyd, Meriwether, Augusta, Savannah, Chatham, Camden, Madison, and Americus have paused applications, DeKalb has extended its moratorium to March 2027, Fayetteville and Palmetto have banned data centers outright, and Atlanta keeps them off the BeltLine and away from transit stations. On November 3 two PSC seats are on the ballot, and an AJC poll in May found majorities of both parties’ voters against data centers in their own communities.

How this list is maintained

A row appears here when a named operator, a county record, a state Development of Regional Impact filing, or an industry tracker lists a campus in Georgia and its location or operator can be confirmed on the operator’s own site, in a government filing, or in a news report, or when a proposal has a named locality and a published source; rows that rest on a tracker alone say so. Because metro Atlanta has dozens of colocation buildings, that table lists one row per operator per metro; hyperscale rows are one per campus. Corrections and additions are welcome through the About page, and every refresh is marked with an updated date at the top of the page.
