Meta has purchased 328 acres near Hillandale Road and Enterprise Way in Davenport for a planned 800 million dollar data center campus, to be run through a Meta subsidiary called Vemerald. The state approved a 20 year, 60 percent property tax exemption for the project, which is expected to create about 35 jobs. As of March 2026, Meta had bought the land but construction had not yet started.

Power bills in Scott County
Most of the county is served by MidAmerican Energy.
MidAmerican Energy is asking the commission for a 5.2% residential increase (MidAmerican Energy natural gas rate increase (docket RPU-2026-0001)). On a $58 monthly bill that is about $3 to $5 a month. This case does not set rates directly, but the new solar plant it approves will eventually be paid for through customer rates, and MidAmerican has said data center growth is a major reason it is needed.
MidAmerican Energy's proposal would raise a typical residential customer's monthly natural gas bill by about 2.89 dollars, roughly 5 percent, and a temporary interim rate increase subject to refund has been in effect since around July 17, 2026. The Iowa Utilities Commission held public consumer comment meetings on September 8 in Cedar Rapids, September 9 in Des Moines and virtually, and September 10 in Sioux City, all in 2026, where MidAmerican reiterated its request; no settlement or decision date has been reported, and the company's prior gas rate case took roughly nine months from filing to a final order.
