Data Centers in Georgia: 2026 Map and Project Tracker

Every large data center project in Georgia, 100 MW and up, from metro Atlanta to Savannah and the rural south. Each figure is checked against its source and the tracker is updated monthly.

Hiring for a data center project?

Georgia has become one of the fastest-growing data center states in the US, led by metro Atlanta. Our tracker counts 12 active data center projects of 100 MW or more in Georgia, adding up to 7.6 GW of planned capacity. By number of large projects, Georgia ranks second among the states on our US data center map.

Below you’ll find a map of every project, a table with the operator, location, capacity, status, investment and announced jobs for each one, and the developers and counties with the most capacity. Click any circle on the map for project details.

Data centers in Atlanta: how big is the market?

Atlanta is now the second-largest data center market in the US, behind only Northern Virginia. According to CBRE, Atlanta ended 2025 with 1,459 MW of data center inventory, up 459 MW in a year, with vacancy at just 2% and 2,076 MW under construction.

2026 has been even busier:

• Construction. In its mid-2026 report, CBRE said Atlanta’s under-construction capacity rose 52% year over year to 2,882 MW. For the first time, Atlanta overtook Northern Virginia as the top market for total data center construction in North America.
• Absorption. JLL says Atlanta absorbed a record 918 MW in the first half of 2026 alone.
• The big tenants. Microsoft’s Fairwater AI data center began operating in October 2025 on QTS’s Fayetteville campus. AWS has announced $11 billion for data centers in Butts and Douglas counties, and Google has long operated a campus in Douglas County.

Where data centers are being built in Georgia

The first wave of Georgia data centers clustered west and south of Atlanta, in Douglas, Fulton, Fayette and Coweta counties, close to fiber routes and Georgia Power transmission lines. As metro sites fill up and local resistance grows, developers are moving further out.

• West and south metro Atlanta. Douglas County (DC BLOX, Stream, Google, AWS), south Fulton (EdgeConneX in Union City, T5 in Palmetto), Fayetteville (QTS) and Coweta County, where Prologis won approval for the 900 MW Project Sail near Newnan.
• North and east metro. DataBank’s Project Indo in Cartersville, DC BLOX’s Atlanta East campus in Conyers, and a 108 MW campus in Marietta.
• Coastal Georgia. OpenAI’s Project Camellia in Effingham County, near Savannah, is planned at 3.2 GW, the largest Georgia project on our tracker.
• Augusta, Columbus and south Georgia. Google is the named user of a planned campus at the White Oak Technology Park in Columbia County near Augusta, a $17 billion deal the county advanced in August 2026. Other large proposals include Project Ruby near Columbus and Project Arrowhead in Irwin County.

Meta, Google, Microsoft and Amazon data centers in Georgia

Most of the household-name tech companies already run data centers in Georgia, and most are building more. They often don’t publish capacity figures, so several of these sites are not in the MW totals above.

Meta data center in Georgia (Stanton Springs)

• Location. Meta’s Georgia data center is at Stanton Springs in Newton County, east of Atlanta. Meta broke ground in 2018 and the campus is operating (Meta).
• Investment and jobs. Meta says it has invested more than $2 billion in its Georgia data centers, with about 1,300 construction workers at peak and 400 operational jobs once complete.
• Water. Meta says it buys all of its operating water from the county water authority rather than using groundwater. A neighbor told Fast Company that construction affected her well; Meta said a well study it commissioned found that unlikely.

Google data centers in Georgia

• Douglas County. Google’s Lithia Springs data center opened in 2007, and since 2012 it has cooled with recycled wastewater. Google says it has invested more than $3 billion in Georgia (Google).
• New sites. Google confirmed a data center in LaGrange in April 2026, and in July 2026 was named as the user of the White Oak Technology Park campus in Columbia County, planned at 23 buildings and about 8 million square feet.

Microsoft data centers in Georgia

• Fairwater, Fayetteville. Microsoft’s AI “superfactory” opened in October 2025 on QTS’s Fayetteville campus. Microsoft says its closed-loop cooling uses almost no water (AJC).
• Union City and Rome. A $1.8 billion, 2.1 million square foot campus in Union City is being built for Microsoft by EdgeConneX, and Microsoft plans a $1 billion campus in Rome.
• Tax breaks. In August 2026 Microsoft said it is working to unwind local property tax incentives for its East Point, Palmetto and Douglasville projects.

Amazon (AWS) data centers in Georgia

• $11 billion. In January 2025 AWS announced at least $11 billion for Butts and Douglas counties and at least 550 jobs. Douglas County says its share is at least $5 billion, the largest capital investment in the county’s history.
• Covington. AWS also owns 430 acres in Newton County, where Covington approved a $100 million reclaimed-water cooling facility in December 2025.

QTS, Switch and OpenAI

• QTS. QTS’s Atlanta 1 campus on Jefferson Street is one of the largest in the city, at 99 acres and more than 278 MW. Its 615-acre Fayetteville campus, home to Microsoft’s Fairwater, was billed retroactively in 2026 for nearly 30 million gallons of county water; QTS called it a county billing error and says the charges are paid.
• Switch. Switch runs The Keep campus west of Atlanta, planned at up to 150 MW, and is building a $772 million second campus in Cartersville.
• OpenAI. OpenAI’s 3.2 GW Project Camellia in Effingham County got PSC approval for its Georgia Power supply deal in August 2026, with power delivered in phases from 2028.

Power, Georgia Power and the PSC

Almost every large Georgia data center depends on Georgia Power, and the state Public Service Commission has changed the rules to protect other customers from the cost of serving them. In January 2025 the PSC approved new terms for customers of 100 MW or more, including minimum bills, longer contracts and paying for transmission and distribution costs as construction goes ahead.

In December 2025 the PSC approved just under 10 GW of new Georgia Power generation, most of it driven by data center demand. Georgia Power’s pipeline of potential large-load customers is far larger than what gets built, though. PSC staff said in 2025 that 33 data center projects totaling more than 11 GW had dropped out since 2023.

Georgia data center tax incentives

Georgia exempts qualifying high-technology data centers from sales and use tax on their equipment. Under current law, the exemption is set to expire on December 31, 2031.

It has survived several attempts to cut it back. Gov. Brian Kemp vetoed a 2024 bill that would have paused it, and a 2026 repeal bill passed the state Senate but was not taken up by the House. A state audit found the exemption cost $474 million in the fiscal year ending July 2025, and credited data centers with 8,505 construction jobs and 1,641 operations jobs.

Local pushback and moratoriums

Resistance to new data centers is strongest in the metro counties that have hosted the most of them. Douglas and Coweta counties both adopted temporary moratoriums in 2025, and DeKalb County extended its moratorium through September 2026. Monroe County commissioners rejected the proposed Bolingbroke campus in 2025, and Coweta approved Project Sail only by a 3-2 vote. Expect zoning hearings to remain the main hurdle for new Georgia projects.

Data center jobs in Georgia

With almost 3 GW under construction in metro Atlanta alone, Georgia data center builders are competing hard for electrical and mechanical engineers, project managers, commissioning agents and electricians. Once the campuses open, they need critical facilities engineers, data center technicians and network engineers, often in counties with small local talent pools. Site work adds demand for civil engineers in grading, stormwater and utilities. For pay by role, employers and hiring advice, see our Atlanta data center engineer talent map, plus our Atlanta electrical, mechanical and civil engineer talent maps.
