2035 Buildout Outlook

via PNNL IM3 (CC BY 4.0)

Under the model's moderate-growth scenario (5%/yr annual load growth), PNNL's IM3 model sites about 1 standardized 36 MW campus in Muscogee County by 2035 — roughly 36 MW of new electricity demand and ~35 M gal/yr of cooling water. Under the higher-growth scenario (15%/yr) that climbs to 2 campuses (72 MW). For scale, we currently track 2 real data centers in Muscogee County.

Modeled new campuses by demand-growth scenario
  • Low growth1
    36 MW · ~35 M gal/yr cooling water
  • Moderate growth1
    36 MW · ~35 M gal/yr cooling water
  • High growth2
    72 MW · ~70 M gal/yr cooling water
  • Higher growth2
    72 MW · ~70 M gal/yr cooling water

The model assigns ~100% of these campuses' cooling to evaporative water cooling in Muscogee County (the rest to mechanical/air cooling), a split it derives from local water stress and wet-bulb temperature.

These are modeled candidate sites, not announced or permitted facilities. PNNL's IM3 model places identical 36 MW unit-campuses at feasible locations under each scenario — it shows where demand could concentrate, never a specific parcel. Figures use a market-gravity weight of 50. How the model works.

How the Muscogee County board votes on each data-center matter — the rezonings, the abatements, the water permits — is built from public-meeting minutes and roll-call records. Know of a vote we should be tracking? Tell us.

Methodology & sources

The risk score weights project exposure (40%), power demand (30%), water draw (15%), and land footprint (15%). Water and land are not yet measured for our facilities, so those arcs render as "not yet measured" and the weights are renormalized over the factors we can source today — when the data lands, the score updates.

Every row carries a confidence level (high / medium / low) and a source URL. Spot an error? Tell us.
