Google announced a $1.5 billion expansion of its Alabama data center campus for 2026–2027, funded entirely by Google, along with a $2 million Energy Impact Fund to support local energy-efficiency and weatherization programs, and a $550,000 STEM kit donation.
Google will invest $1.5 billion across 2026 and 2027 to expand its data centre campus in Jackson County, Alabama.
The company said the campus has operated since 2019 on a repurposed former coal-plant site, powers essential digital services and that the expansion is intended to drive long-term regional growth.
Google will fund 100% of the expansion's power and infrastructure costs and is creating a $2 million Energy Impact Fund with the TVA and CAANEAL to support local energy-efficiency and weatherization programs.
It is also donating $550,000 to provide STEM kits for local fourth-to-eighth graders.
The company's local work also includes support for water stewardship in the Paint Rock River Watershed, training over 130,000 Alabamians in digital skills and generating hundreds of full-time and construction jobs.
