Is a Data Center Coming

Jackson County, GA

Northern Data Maysville

Northern Data Group (filed as Northern Data). Approved. 200 MW.

Northern Data already operates one building at this Maysville industrial site and won conditional use approval in early 2025 to add two more buildings of about 125,000 square feet each, part of a plan to grow the campus from about 7.5 megawatts toward roughly 200 megawatts with a Georgia Power 129 megawatt substation on site. Reported total investment is about 2 billion dollars over five to six years, with the next building targeted to open in 2027. Note: local reporting on the vote was filed under Banks County coverage while at least one data center tracking site lists the project's address as being in Jackson County. Maysville straddles the Banks-Jackson county line, so the exact county of the physical buildings could not be fully confirmed.

The cooling design has not been reported. If it uses evaporative cooling, a 200 MW facility would draw roughly 634,000 to 2.3 million gallons of water a day, about what 7,300 households use.

Oglethorpe Power, which generates most of the electricity Georgia's EMCs sell, is adding natural gas plants it ties to data center and industrial load. EMC rates are set by each cooperative's board, not the Public Service Commission, so watch your EMC's rate notices.
