Is a Data Center Coming

Cobb County, GA

Prime Storage Delk Road Data Center

Prime Storage. Approved. 18 MW.

An 18 megawatt data center proposed to occupy about 21,570 square feet (roughly 22 percent) of an existing 90,000 square foot Prime Storage self-storage building on Powers Ferry Place off Delk Road in Marietta, Cobb County, on a 10.7 acre site facing Interstate 75. The Marietta Planning Commission recommended approval 4-3 in June 2026 and the City Council approved it 5-2 on August 13, 2026, with conditions including an independent sound study, noise monitoring, generator silencing, and a covenant barring Prime Storage from adding data centers at its other Marietta facilities. It is described as serving local law enforcement, medical, emergency and business needs.

What it would mean nearby

The cooling design has not been reported. If it uses evaporative cooling, a 18 MW facility would draw roughly 57,000 to 205,000 gallons of water a day, about what 700 households use.

Base rate freeze through 2028 (docket 44280) holds base rates flat from July 2025. Fuel and storm riders are separate and can still move. Real-time pricing revenue credit and cost allocation review (docket 57171) is pending before the commission without a published residential figure yet. 2026 fuel and storm cost settlement (docket 44280, 56765) takes about $4.04 a month off a typical bill from June 2026.
