Google invests $1.5B to expand Alabama data center powered by TVA$

Google is investing $1.5 billion to expand its data center in Jackson County, Alabama, which is powered by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). The expansion, set for 2026-2027, includes Google covering all electricity and infrastructure costs. TVA is also considering rate changes that could raise electricity costs for data centers due to growing regional opposition over power and water usage.
