This is a source-attributed discovery row. It can help you find a place and its citations; it is not a DataCenterData finding that the facility is distinct or currently operating.

Provider notes
Energy. Developer's campus page states "Alabama Power will service the site using high voltage power lines they already own." No megawatt figure is given for this campus on that page.
Water. Developer states verbatim: "The site will utilize a closed-loop water system. Evaporative cooling will not be used." That is an explicit recirculating circuit with evaporative rejection ruled out — closed_loop, not `air` (a water circuit exists) and not `evaporative`. No withdrawal or consumption figure is stated.
Community. Beacon held a community open house on June 17, 2026 attended by more than 50 residents; the project is drawing questions from some nearby residents about land use, utilities and long-term impact on the rural community, without organised opposition reported in this coverage.
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.
- Reported water use: The source water note states that no withdrawal or consumption figure is given for this site.
What the source record says
Developer's campus page states verbatim: "A 95 acre development out of a 650 acre lot" with "less than 15% of the site planned for development"; "$6 billion"; two data center buildings plus supporting infrastructure; "2027 First Building Completed"; currently in a "planning, engineering, and community engagement phase"; "up to 1,000 construction workers at peak construction" and "250 staff for operations" at an "average salary of $115,000". landAcres records the 650-acre site; the built footprint is 95 acres. NO CAPACITY RECORDED: the campus page states no MW figure. Secondary coverage attributes 6 GW to Beacon's WHOLE portfolio of six-plus campuses across Alberta, New Brunswick, Tom Green County TX, Kern County CA and Calvert — that is a portfolio figure, not this site's capacity, and is deliberately not recorded. COUNTY AMBIGUITY: Beacon's own page places the hub in Mobile County and that is what is recorded, but Calvert is an unincorporated community straddling Mobile and Washington counties, and the OSM village node used for the coordinate sits on the Washington County side. Verify the county against the parcel before publishing. SUBSIDY: no incentive or abatement is mentioned on the developer's page; Mobile County and Alabama Commerce records were NOT checked in this run, so this is an unchecked gap, not an audited negative. Coordinates are the Calvert community centroid, not the 650-acre parcel.
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.
