Data centers · GeorgiaFirst pass Oct. 17, 2026 · not yet complete

22 data center projects in Georgia.

This pass reviewed major and contested campuses in metro Atlanta, Coweta, Bartow, Monroe, Twiggs, Columbia and Troup, plus state tax law, PSC large-load actions and local moratoriums. Rate limits on page fetches left several projects only partly checked or missing: the OpenAI/Effingham campus, Microsoft Rome (Floyd), Hall County, Douglas County denials and South Fulton. Many moratorium entries rest on the SAVRN tracker alone.

How this page is built

Each project’s status is the latest public record found in a statewide review of local news, government records, utility filings and trackers; every update links to its source, and the reporting that found it is credited. The review covers campuses of 50 MW or more, or 100 acres or more when power is not reported, plus operating hyperscale campuses for context. Map positions are approximate. A county with no project listed was not found in this review; that is not proof none exists. Political money around these projects has not yet been traced in this state.
