Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Amazon.com Incorporated (NASDAQ:AMZN) (Seattle, Washington) plans to invest another $10 billion to build out its Amazon Web Services (AWS) data center infrastructure in Ohio, driving its investment plan in the state to more than $23 billion from 2015 through 2030. Industrial Info is tracking billions' worth of active and planned data center projects from Amazon in Ohio.
The new investment builds on the $7.8 billion investment plan announced by AWS, Amazon's branch for cloud data center operations, last year, which was in addition to the more than $6 billion already invested through 2022.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine (R), Lieutenant Governor Jon Husted (R), the Ohio Department of Development and JobsOhio--the state's private economic development arm--announced the investment in a press release, adding that Amazon "has not finalized the locations for investment and will continue to evaluate all potential sites. Investment plans are contingent upon the execution of long-term energy service agreements."
For information on how the buildout of data centers in Ohio is affecting investment from the state's largest utility, a unit of American Electric Power (NASDAQ:AEP) (Columbus, Ohio), see May 16, 2024, article - AEP Asks Ohio for Pay Commitments as Influx of Data Centers Squeezes T&D Infrastructure.
According to the press release, the new Ohio data centers will contain computer servers, data storage drives, networking equipment and other forms of technology infrastructure used to power cloud computing, including artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning.
Among Amazon's data center projects in the Buckeye State is the $300 million first phase of a data center campus in Hilliard. The 215,634-square-foot data center building is the first of a planned seven-building campus, and construction on Phase 1 is expected to wrap up in mid-2025.
