A 959 million dollar, 180 megawatt data center on about 35 acres at 4350 Tanners Church Road in Ellenwood, Clayton County. The Board of Commissioners approved the site plan 3-1 in October 2024 despite opposition from eight residents over traffic, noise, water and school impacts, and the Development Authority of Clayton County approved a 10-year property tax abatement package in June 2025. The project is expected to be operational by the end of 2026 and create about 700 temporary construction jobs and roughly 60 permanent positions.

What it would mean nearby

The cooling design has not been reported. If it uses evaporative cooling, a 180 MW facility would draw roughly 571,000 to 2.1 million gallons of water a day, about what 6,600 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. 2026 fuel and storm cost settlement (docket 44280, 56765) takes about $4.04 a month off a typical bill from June 2026. The December 2025 certification of about 9,885 MW of new generation for data center load came with a promise of at least $8.50 a month of downward pressure on a typical bill in 2029 through 2031, because large customers are meant to carry more of the cost. Consumer groups warned it could instead add around $20 a month if the projected data center demand does not show up.
