Proposed-site record
High-priority Pumpkin Technology Campus proposal in Columbia County near Harlem / Appling Harlem Road. County records describe a 420-acre Cloverleaf-backed campus with four data center buildings, two warehouses, and a substation; a later county announcement identifies Google's Kinetic Infrastructure Solutions as the private MOU counterparty for the broader county data-center project. The 500 MW remains unclassified and the Pumpkin-specific water, utility-letter, and public-money allocation details remain unresolved.
This panel tracks what the facility is for without assuming that every project is AI training, inference, or cloud capacity.
No source-backed workload, customer, hardware, or training/inference allocation is attached to this record yet.
Workload classification remains unknown in the reviewed record.Source leads point to attached records or reporting. They still need field-level review before being treated as verified evidence.
Source reviewed September 9, 2026: Columbia County's August 26 announcement says its Economic Development Authority approved an MOU with Kinetic Infrastructure Solutions, an Alphabet subsidiary, representing at least $17 billion of private investment for the county data-center project. This is a private investment commitment and county-development agreement context, not proof of public spending or a Pumpkin-specific subsidy; the MOU's allocation across the county projects and final payment terms remain unresolved.
Source reviewed September 9, 2026: Columbia County's July 23, 2026 partnership notice names protections for the local water supply, and its August 26 announcement describes closed-loop cooling and a ban on private wells for the county data-center project. Neither source discloses a Pumpkin-specific withdrawal, consumption, cooling, service, or wastewater quantity. Preserve the dataset's closed-loop description as a design commitment, not measured performance.
Source reviewed September 9, 2026: Columbia County approved Pumpkin's zoning change on February 4, 2026 but required a Georgia Power letter showing it could meet the proposed site's power needs before construction. The county's July 23 partnership notice says Google committed to pay associated energy costs and that ratepayers would not bear additional infrastructure, transmission, or capacity expenses; the August 26 MOU announcement identifies Kinetic Infrastructure Solutions, an Alphabet subsidiary, as the private counterparty for the county data-center project. The dataset's 500 MW remains unclassified project/power context, not confirmed requested, approved, energized, generation, or data-center IT-load capacity.
No fuel-cell or Bloom Energy source is attached to this project yet.
