Beacon Data Centers plans a 6 to 8 billion dollar data center on about 650 acres along US 43 in the Calvert community north of Mount Vernon, with construction expected to begin in fall 2026. A July 2026 community meeting drew residents demanding binding commitments on noise, water and land impacts; county commissioners say they cannot block it.
Most of the county is served by Alabama Power.
Alabama Power RSE rate freeze holds base rates flat, decided December 8, 2025. Fuel and storm riders are separate and can still move.
The Alabama Public Service Commission approved a consent order on December 8, 2025 freezing several cost factors that normally move Alabama Power's rates automatically, including fuel costs, purchased power costs, government mandate cost recovery, and the Rate Stabilization and Equalization (RSE) formula that adjusts rates based on the company's earnings. The freeze runs for two years and was extended to also block any automatic RSE increase in 2027. The order does not lower current rates, it only pauses further automatic increases under these mechanisms, and it came alongside PSC discussion of rising data center demand in the state, including a large Meta facility near Montgomery.
