Provider notes
Energy. AES Indiana sole utility provider. IURC Cause No. 46394 filed Apr 22 2026 under HEA 1007; AES planning 1,200 MW on-site substation; 15-year Customer Specific Contract (CSC); all incremental infrastructure costs paid by Google; IURC order expected Sept 2026.
Water. Each building estimated to use up to 4 million gallons per day at maximum capacity per IURC filings; total campus water demand not confirmed as a single figure. Cooling type not confirmed in available sources.
Community. Significant opposition. 'KEEP MONROVIA RURAL' signs appeared along roads and fields; multiple lawsuits filed challenging rezoning decisions, consolidated January 2026, ongoing as of mid-2026. Annexation dispute active July 2026: Monrovia sought to annex Google parcels; county transferred property to RDC under IC 36-4-3-4.3 to block; Google offered $12M sewer plant upgrade in exchange for dropping effort. County commissioners generally supportive (Commissioner Don Adams called Google 'good neighbors'). Google donated $200K to Monrovia FFA and $1M to local nonprofits.
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 $1 billion figure is not confirmed as a firm Google commitment and was meant to be left out of investment.
What the source record says
Codename 'Project Louie'; Google initially concealed via shell company 'Woodland Caribou LLC'. Campus totals approximately 550 acres in Morgan Township east of Monrovia (bounded by Keller Hill Rd, N Antioch Rd, SR-42, W Union Church Rd); additional ~80 acres acquired within Monrovia town limits, bringing total Google holdings to ~628 acres. Planned 1,200 MW AES Indiana substation per IURC Cause No. 46394 (filed Apr 22 2026); that figure is the utility substation capacity ceiling, not a confirmed steady-state data center load — treated as notes per spec. Six buildings plus substation planned. Reported total investment ~$1 billion (IDS News; not confirmed as a firm Google-stated commitment — left out of investmentUsd). Land acquisition spend: ~$78 million for ~15 parcels Sep–Nov 2025. Coordinates approximate (site east of Monrovia near SR-42/Keller Hill Rd area). Annexation dispute with Town of Monrovia active July 2026: county transferred Google parcels to RDC under IC 36-4-3-4.3 to block annexation; Google offered $12M sewer plant upgrade to Monrovia to drop the effort.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
