Provider notes
Energy. Google structured a PPA via Sol Systems for 225 MW of new solar (developed by Pine Gate Renewables) plus 18 MW of battery storage across North and South Carolina, explicitly framed as supporting Google's operations in the region and its 24/7 carbon-free energy goal.
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.
- Cooling: Previously held pending provider-field review. The concern has not been resolved by an independent source review for this captured edition; the field remains withheld.
What the source record says
Google's flagship South Carolina data center in the Mount Holly / Moncks Corner area of Berkeley County — one of Google's first U.S. data centers, operational since 2007, expanded since. Google states $13B+ invested in South Carolina since 2007 (a statewide figure spanning Berkeley + the tracked Dorchester County sites, not site-specific). DISTINCT from the tracked Google Ridgeville (Project Dawson) and St. George (Winding Woods) campuses, which are in Dorchester County. No site-specific IT-load MW is disclosed. Coordinates are an approximate geocode of a disclosed campus address; a county-parcel pass could upgrade precision to exact. Re-checked 2026-09-10 via Google's own current data-center site: the Berkeley County/Moncks Corner facility is still described as one of Google's active South Carolina facilities, consistent with recorded status 'operational'. No new capacityMw, water/cooling, street address, landAcres, jobs, subsidies, or community data was found for this specific site despite targeted checks of Santee Cooper's newsroom, generation-projects, board-meetings, IRP, and economic-development pages; Berkeley County's own government site (403 Forbidden on every fetch); SC Governor's newsroom; SC Commerce newsroom; scbiz.com; and Google's own site (no per-site address/capacity breakdown -- Google groups all three SC facilities under one page). Santee Cooper's board-meetings page appears to render minutes/agendas via a JS document-management widget not retrievable through a static fetch, so its content could not be checked this run.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
Status history supplied by the source

These sources are listed for the whole row. Unless a figure links to its own source, the provider does not mark which one gave it, so a figure may not appear in every source.

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.
