Provider notes
Energy. Grid power via NIPSCO, which is building a 400 MW gas peaker (target 2027) and a combined-cycle gas plant (target 2029) on adjacent property to serve the campus.
Water. Natural air cooling ~98% of the year; supplemental water cooling on hot days; campus will not connect to public water systems and will fund its own water/wastewater infrastructure.
Community. Jasper County Commissioners voted unanimously to approve; residents invited to a June 3 2026 open house; no opposition on record in available sources.
These reviews flag conflicting scope, inconsistent source text or support that has not been established. A withheld value may appear in the explanation, but is not displayed as an established field. The upstream row remains attributed under Sources.
- Announced investment: The source note says the roughly $7 billion figure is a soft estimate and that no firm investment value is recorded for this row.
- Announced permanent jobs: The source note says the roughly 250 permanent jobs are a projection kept in the notes, not in the jobs field.
What the source record says
Codename Project Rise. Nine-building campus on 304 acres of NIPSCO-owned land ~0.5 mi from the R.M. Schahfer Generating Station; part of AWS's $15B Northern Indiana commitment. CAPACITY OMITTED: data-center IT load not disclosed; the 400 MW figure is NIPSCO's new gas peaker plant, not the facility's load. INVESTMENT OMITTED: DCD reports AWS is 'estimating an investment of around $7 billion' - a soft estimate, so no firm investmentUsd is recorded (noted here). ~250 permanent jobs are a projection (in notes, not jobs). AWS commits to restore 425 acres of Kankakee River watershed habitat and provide $25M for Wheatfield Township water access; AWS committed $1.25B to offset NIPSCO ratepayer impacts across the broader buildout. Coordinates are the Wheatfield centroid. Distinct from Project Rainier (New Carlisle) and the Hobart IN campus.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

Compute Atlas 1.34.1 with retained prior rows and publication holds. This is a DataCenterData composite, not an unmodified publisher edition. This row uses the captured source from 1.34.1, source as of 2026-10-14T20:40:52.293Z.
That does not mean the row is wrong, and it does not mean no reviewed record exists for the same place. A link is added only when an identifier or source establishes the match.
