Google Council Bluffs Data Center
Google.
Google's original Council Bluffs data center campus has been running since 2009 and now includes several buildings totaling nearly 3 million square feet. In 2024 and 2025 Google announced roughly 1 billion dollars in additional Council Bluffs spending as part of a broader 7 billion dollar, two year investment across its Iowa campuses. As of 2026 the company listed several active construction phases underway at the site.

What it would mean nearby
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.
