Provider notes
Energy. Grid-served by Georgia Power (the regulated utility). A secondary tracker reported ~144 MW critical / 216 MW total campus load, but the primary source could not be confirmed.
Water. The Douglasville–Douglas County Water & Sewer Authority (Dog River Reservoir) is the provider; no facility-specific water volume is published. Microsoft pledges to be 'water positive' by 2030 and reports an 80%+ reduction in water intensity company-wide.
Community. The mayor welcomed Microsoft's arrival and a county official cited it as a model incentive recipient, but Douglas County enacted two 90-day moratoriums on new data centers in 2025 over ratepayer and infrastructure concerns and is reviewing abatement terms; no Microsoft-specific opposition was found.
What the source record says
Four 245,000 sq ft technology facilities totaling ~980,000 sq ft on 160-acre parcel at 1601 North River Road, Douglasville. Part of Azure East US 3 region alongside facilities in East Point and Palmetto. Coordinates are Douglasville city centroid; actual site is northern Douglasville.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
