Data centers in Lancaster County

Google is building its third Nebraska data center on about 580 acres northwest of 56th Street and Interstate 80 in Lincoln, a 1.2 billion dollar project the company confirmed after months of reporting. City officials expect the campus to come online in 2026, and Google held a community roundtable in August 2026 to answer questions about the project. The Lincoln campus is separate from a much larger data center that Google, Tenaska, and Tallgrass Energy have discussed for southeastern Nebraska, which could need far more power than the Lincoln facility.

Nevada based Arevia Power, through an entity called Coffee Grounds Data LLC, has taken a four year purchase option on more than 560 acres near West McKelvie Road on the northwest edge of Lincoln in Lancaster County. Arevia's chief development officer described the move as an early stage site diligence process with no development plan yet determined, and no megawatt figure, zoning application, or end user has been disclosed. The option is separate from the much larger Tenaska and Google backed data center proposal that has optioned land elsewhere in Lancaster County, and Lancaster County has formed a 13 member task force this fall to study data center land use rules.
