Proposed-site record

Walterboro Data Center

Walterboro's proposed Eagle Rock campus remains an early-stage, speculative nine-building proposal. A county-hosted planning packet reproduces developer statements of about 12,000 gallons/day, closed-loop cooling, and 1,000 MW electricity demand; those are attributed planning estimates, not permits, measured use, energized capacity, or IT load.

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

The project article reports a developer-stated $6 billion project context, not completed spending or a public subsidy. The reviewed materials do not establish itemized incentives, abatements, public infrastructure contributions, or ratepayer charges.

Water

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: a project article reproduced in an Oconee County planning packet attributes an approximately 12,000-gallons-per-day estimate and closed-loop cooling description to Eagle Rock co-founder Ken Loeber. The estimate is a developer statement, not a permit, service agreement, measured use, or final withdrawal/wastewater quantity; preserve those distinctions.

Power

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: the same project article attributes a 1,000 MW electricity estimate to Eagle Rock's co-founder and says the proposal was speculative without a specific tenant, while the related 2,200 MW Canadys generation project remained in permitting. The dataset's 1,000 MW remains proposed project/utility-demand context, not confirmed requested, approved, energized, generation, or data-center IT-load capacity.
