From announced projects to deliverable sites
Research and compilation by Uwe Cerron (Uwe Jens Cerron) · About the author · Methodology & citation
Our first four state briefs begin in Louisiana, where Uwe Cerron owns land, and extend to Texas, Mississippi, and Arkansas. These are evidence-based starting points for conversations with operators, utilities, and development teams.
Texas
Texas: the useful unit is a deliverable phase
Texas data center coverage needs to get more precise about the unit being counted: a campus, a phase, an expansion, or a power project.
Mississippi
Mississippi: track campuses beneath the investment headline
Amazon’s Mississippi plan now totals $25 billion. Its announced expansion includes another $11 billion in Madison County and $1 billion to convert the former Delphi plant in Hinds County. [1]
Arkansas
Arkansas: keep generation and data center load in separate columns
Google announced a $4 billion Arkansas investment through 2027, including its first data center in the state at West Memphis. It also described work with Entergy on a 600 MW solar project. [1]
