invest $17 billion

Google has announced a $17 billion investment to build its first data center in Wyoming, creating thousands of jobs and supporting local education and infrastructure. The project will utilize advanced carbon capture technology to reduce emissions and employ air cooling to safeguard local water resources. Google and its partners aim to enhance the community's economic prospects, with plans focusing on K-12 education, workforce development, and state economic growth.

The data center will be air-cooled to conserve local water resources and will feature a first-of-its-kind 702 MW fuel cell development with carbon capture and storage, the largest of its kind globally. Google will cover 100% of the power it uses, while the infrastructure will be provided by AEP and Tallgrass Energy. The company has engaged with local stakeholders extensively to address community concerns and ensure the project benefits the state of Wyoming.
