Google announces a $1.5 billion expansion of its data center campus in Jackson County, Alabama, describing the project as part of a broader effort to strengthen its presence in the state. According to the company, the investment is expected to take place in 2026 and 2027, building on operations already underway at the site.
The outlets report that the data center expansion is tied to energy planning. Google says it will cover the costs of energy needed for the expanded operations, and it states that power will come from nuclear energy over time. Google’s current operations at the location began in 2019 using a repurposed facility, and the new announcement focuses on scaling the campus.
Both sources present the expansion as a multi-year capital commitment and emphasize Google’s role in managing the energy-related costs for the project, along with its intention to continue investing in Alabama alongside community support.
