DC BLOX Atlanta East Hyperscale Data Center Campus DC BLOX
Under construction 154 MW Conyers

DC BLOX broke ground in September 2024 on a hyperscale data center campus off Farmer Road and Lester Road in Conyers, Rockdale County, on about 72 acres. The plan calls for a 10 megawatt building plus three 48 megawatt buildings (about 154 critical megawatts committed and planned) totaling roughly 748,000 square feet, using air cooled chillers with thermal storage, plus a large electrical substation. A hyperscale tenant anchors the first phase, which was targeted for delivery in late 2025.

Power bills in Rockdale County

Most of the county is served by Georgia Power, with parts on Snapping Shoals EMC or Walton EMC.

Base rate freeze through 2028 (docket 44280) holds base rates flat from July 2025. Fuel and storm riders are separate and can still move. 2026 fuel and storm cost settlement (docket 44280, 56765) takes about $4.04 a month off a typical bill from June 2026. The December 2025 certification of about 9,885 MW of new generation for data center load came with a promise of at least $8.50 a month of downward pressure on a typical bill in 2029 through 2031, because large customers are meant to carry more of the cost. Consumer groups warned it could instead add around $20 a month if the projected data center demand does not show up.

Georgia Power and the Georgia PSC Public Interest Advocacy Staff reached a stipulated agreement extending the alternate rate plan first approved in the 2022 rate case, keeping Georgia Power base electricity rates flat through at least 2028. The Georgia Public Service Commission approved the stipulation by vote on July 1, 2025, with a formal order issued July 31, 2025. The freeze applies only to base rates and does not limit separate fuel cost recovery or storm cost recovery charges, both of which can still change a residential bill during the freeze period. Georgia Power has said growth in large load customers such as data centers helped make the freeze possible by spreading fixed costs across a larger customer base.
