LaGrange
Google publicly confirmed plans in April 2026 for a new data center at 411 Pegasus Parkway in LaGrange, Troup County, off Interstate 85. It would be Google's second Georgia data center after its Douglas County facility. The company said it would fund related power and infrastructure costs; the LaGrange city manager noted the project fills a gap left by the closure of the city's largest former electric customer. Megawatt capacity and square footage have not been publicly disclosed.

LaGrange
Project West is a proposed 9.7 billion dollar, roughly 600 megawatt data center campus on about 513 acres near LaGrange and Hogansville, filed by WHP-GA LLC and led locally by resident Joshua Harrison, with six buildings of about 250,000 square feet each. Hogansville area residents organized as the Troup County Anti-Data Center Coalition to oppose it over water, noise and property value concerns. Troup County enacted a 90 day moratorium on data center applications starting September 16, 2025 that paused special use permits, rezonings and related approvals, and LaGrange followed with its own 180 day moratorium; the project's status since the moratoriums lapsed could not be confirmed.
Power bills in Troup County
Most of the county is served by LaGrange municipal (city owned), with parts on Coweta-Fayette EMC or Carroll EMC or Diverse Power or West Point municipal (city owned) or Hogansville municipal (city owned) 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.
