Proposed-site record

Salem Township Amazon Data Center

SRBC records an approved 0.1290-MGD 30-day-average consumptive-use quantity for Amazon's PHL100 campus and identifies evaporative cooling and public-sewer discharge in the application. The 960 MW remains unclassified project/power context, separate from energized or IT-load capacity; total withdrawal, workload allocation, and public subsidy remain unresolved.

Compute Workload

This panel tracks what the facility is for without assuming that every project is AI training, inference, or cloud capacity.

Undisclosed / unknownUnknown

No source-backed workload, customer, hardware, or training/inference allocation is attached to this record yet.

Workload classification remains unknown in the reviewed record.

Public Money

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: Amazon and Pennsylvania describe at least $20 billion of planned private investment across Pennsylvania campuses, including Salem Township. No reviewed source establishes a project-specific public subsidy or completed public spending amount.

Water

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: the Susquehanna River Basin Commission approved Amazon Data Services' PHL100 Data Center Campus for 0.1290 million gallons per day of 30-day-average consumptive use on March 12, 2026; the application identifies evaporative cooling, added water sources, and public-sewer discharges. This is an approved consumptive-use quantity, not total withdrawal, facility consumption, or proof of cooling operations at every campus phase.

Power

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: Amazon's Salem Township page describes a campus expected to contain 20 data centers and identifies Talen's existing infrastructure and withdrawal docket for water. The dataset's 960 MW nuclear-backed figure remains unclassified project/power context; no reviewed source establishes energized or data-center IT-load capacity.

No fuel-cell or Bloom Energy source is attached to this project yet.
