16 data center projects in Indiana.

Reviewed hyperscale and contested campuses, IURC large-load dockets (46097, 46322), the state sales-tax exemption and its cost, and 2025-2026 legislation. CAC's tracker counted 57 Indiana proposals as of June 2026 (31 proposed, 7 under construction or operating, 18 withdrawn or defeated). IU's Environmental Resilience Institute counted at least 17 counties with temporary moratoriums and two with bans (Marshall, Cass) by mid-2026; only moratoriums with a dated record are listed here. Notably absent: Cass, White, Putnam and Madison County actions (no dated record reviewed); Amazon's other unnamed $15 billion NW Indiana sites; Meta's reported $800 million southern Indiana project; and smaller Indianapolis projects with no reported MW (Metrobloks, about 14 acres, $500 million; DC Blox, $2 billion). The last two are left out of projects under the size rule but named in the Indianapolis moratorium.

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.
