Amazon's Northwest Louisiana program expanded to three planned campuses and $18 billion of company-stated investment. Amazon's cooling and water-infrastructure claims and SWEPCO's customer-funded utility-infrastructure statement improve provenance, but no facility-specific water quantity, utility load, energized capacity, generation, or IT load is disclosed.

This panel tracks what the facility is for without assuming that every project is AI training, inference, or cloud capacity.
Mixed workloadsPartially VerifiedPlanned use (company statement)
Amazon describes intended AI and cloud computing across its northwest Louisiana campuses. This is a company statement of planned use; it does not establish operating workloads or a training/inference split.
This record covers the multi-campus program, not a measured allocation at each building. STACK is the disclosed developer and owner. Workload MW, shares, hardware and end customers remain unknown; statewide solar generation is not campus IT load.
Public incentive and subsidy amounts are unknown; supporting records are not yet attached and need review.
Water
Source reviewed September 9, 2026: Amazon says the three-campus Northwest Louisiana plan will use air cooling most of the year and water during fewer than 13% of the year, and describes up to $400 million for water-infrastructure upgrades. These are company-stated design and planned-investment claims; no facility-specific withdrawal, consumption, service, or wastewater quantity is disclosed.
Source reviewed September 9, 2026: SWEPCO says Amazon's project-specific substations, transmission lines, and specialized equipment will be funded by Amazon under Louisiana Public Service Commission oversight. This establishes a customer-funded utility-infrastructure arrangement, not a disclosed requested, approved, energized, generation, or data-center IT-load capacity.
