Georgia has 141 data centers in its development pipeline as of 2026, positioning the state as one of the fastest-growing digital infrastructure markets in the Southeast United States, according to BlackRidge Research tracking of upcoming data center projects.
The state hosts more than 200 existing data center facilities statewide, anchored by the Atlanta metropolitan region. Georgia has drawn investment from major hyperscale cloud operators, enterprise colocation providers, and AI infrastructure companies seeking alternatives to capacity-constrained markets in Northern Virginia and Silicon Valley.
Among the most significant active Southeast projects:
- Microsoft is developing a data center campus in Douglasville, Georgia in Douglas County, with Phase I construction begun in 2024 and expected to complete in 2026. - T5 Data Centers is building its Atlanta IV campus on a 91-acre site with approximately 1.32 million square feet of planned space. Utility service is expected to become operational in 2026, with Phase 1 delivery scheduled for 2027. - Amazon Web Services is developing a massive multi-building hyperscale campus in North Carolina, expected to be one of AWS's largest in the southeastern US with 20 buildings at full build-out, following a groundbreaking in October 2025. - Google announced a $1.2 billion investment in a data center in Lenoir, North Carolina.
A March 2026 Georgia Public Service Commission fact sheet noted that the state's data center sector has grown into a significant driver of electricity demand, creating new infrastructure planning requirements for state utilities.
The South as a whole accounts for 48% of all planned US data center construction, with 754 facilities in development across Southern states, according to Pew Research Center analysis from April 2026.
