North Coweta Investors, represented by former state senator Arthur B. Edge IV, won approval for Project Peach, an eight building data center campus of about 2.1 million square feet using up to roughly 700 megawatts on 320 acres at 300 Johnson Circle near Palmetto. Coweta commissioners voted 3-2 on April 15, 2025 to rezone the land from rural conservation to light industrial over opposition from Palmetto residents and the neighboring city's mayor, with construction planned in phases through 2036 and a buildout value of about 1 billion dollars. No confirmation of construction having started was found as of the most recent reporting.

In Coweta County
Fortune 500 developer Prologis, through Atlas Development LLC, is behind Project Sail, a nine building, 4.3 million square foot data center campus planned to use about 900 megawatts on roughly 829 acres at Wagers Mill Road and Welcome Sargent Road in Coweta County, inside a state designated Most Significant Groundwater Recharge Area near the Chattahoochee. Coweta commissioners approved the rezoning from rural conservation to industrial 3-2 on April 8, 2026, despite an 8,000 signature petition from the group Citizens for Rural Coweta. On May 5, 2026 a group of residents sued in Coweta County Superior Court seeking to overturn the rezoning, and the case was still pending as of mid May 2026.
Developers are seeking to add data center buildings and substations to the existing Bridgeport Industrial Park, a large industrial site along U.S. Highway 27/29 near Interstate 85 in Coweta County that was originally approved in 2015 for manufacturing and warehouse use on a little over 1,000 acres. A Development of Regional Impact filing specific to the data center portion was submitted in April 2026, with about 360 acres proposed to remain as open space and an estimated property value of 3 to 5 billion dollars. The exact boundaries and address of the data center portion were not detailed in public reporting found for this entry, so the location shown is an approximate point along the industrial corridor rather than a confirmed site.
An undisclosed developer has proposed Project Oak, a six building, roughly 895,530 square foot data center campus on about 455 acres near Walt Sanders Road in the Madras community of Coweta County. A 255 acre industrial-zoned portion was rezoned from rural conservation in April 2024, but as of mid August 2026 the overall project was still not finalized. Coweta County commissioners are scheduled to hold a public hearing and possible vote on August 25, 2026, and a resident group called Stop Project Oak has organized in opposition over noise, water use of about 28,000 gallons a day, and traffic on Walt Sanders Road.
T5@Atlanta IV, LP has proposed Project Pegasus, a seven building, 2.95 million square foot data center campus valued at about 1.5 billion dollars on 200 acres at Weldon Road and Palmetto-Tyrone Road in Coweta County. A Development of Regional Impact report was completed in February 2024, but the property still needs to be rezoned from rural conservation and no public hearing had been scheduled as of the most recent reporting found. This is a separate, smaller project from the unrelated Project Pegasus data center Google is building near LaGrange in Troup County.

Power bills in Coweta County
Most of the county is served by Coweta-Fayette EMC, with parts on Georgia Power or GreyStone Power or Diverse Power or Newnan municipal (city owned) or Grantville municipal (city owned). Newnan and Grantville run their own municipal electric departments for those cities, Coweta-Fayette EMC and Georgia Power cover most of the rest of the county. As a cooperative, its wholesale power comes mostly from Oglethorpe Power.
Oglethorpe Power, which generates most of the electricity Georgia's EMCs sell, is adding natural gas plants it ties to data center and industrial load. EMC rates are set by each cooperative's board, not the Public Service Commission, so watch your EMC's rate notices.
Oglethorpe Power is the wholesale generation and transmission cooperative owned by Georgia's 38 electric membership cooperatives, and it is not directly rate regulated by the Georgia Public Service Commission the way Georgia Power is, so there is no PSC docket number for its generation projects. Oglethorpe Power has announced plans to build new natural gas generation to meet rising load from its EMC members, including a large combined cycle gas plant near its existing Smarr Energy Facility in Monroe County targeted for around 2029, plus a smaller gas addition at the Talbot Energy Facility targeted for 2028. Reported cost estimates for the Monroe County plant vary across sources, from around 2 billion dollars to as much as 3.3 billion dollars, so the exact figure is unclear. No specific verified dollar impact on individual electric membership cooperative household bills has been published yet, since those retail rates are set separately by each member cooperative.
