Wallace Jackson Data Center Campus Wallace Jackson LLC
Approved MW not reported Griffin

The Spalding County Board of Commissioners voted 4 to 0 on January 22, 2026 to approve rezoning for a 189 acre, ten building data center campus totaling nearly 5 million square feet at Jackson Road and Wallace Road near Griffin. The project, valued at about 3.7 to 3.9 billion dollars, is expected to take about ten years to build out and was described locally as the third data center campus approved in Spalding County (this research did not confirm the names of the first two).

Power bills in Spalding County

Most of the county is served by Griffin municipal (city owned), with parts on Coweta-Fayette EMC or Central Georgia EMC or Southern Rivers Energy or Georgia Power. City owned utilities in Georgia buy most of their power through MEAG Power.

MEAG Power supplies the city owned utilities and expects data center load on its system to roughly double within about five years. City utility rates are set by each city, not the Public Service Commission.

MEAG Power, the joint municipal power agency that supplies wholesale electricity to participating Georgia municipal electric systems, says data center electricity use could grow from about 4 percent of United States electricity consumption in 2023 to roughly 9 percent by 2030, and that data center load on its own system could double within about five years. MEAG Power recently completed Plant Vogtle Unit 4, adding about 500 megawatts of nuclear generation, and has issued a request for proposals for additional generation resources that would need buy in from at least five of its participant systems before moving forward, with new gas or solar resources realistically available in about 4 to 5 years and nuclear in 10 or more years. MEAG Power is a municipal joint action agency, not a utility directly rate regulated by the Georgia PSC, so there is no state docket number for this planning process, and no specific verified dollar impact on municipal customer bills has been published yet.
