What's happening in Muscogee County
Below: every tracked facility in the county, the active state legislation that names it or its county, and local news. Commissioner vote records arrive in a later release; the placeholders show where that accountability data will land.
2035 Buildout Outlook
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.
- Low growth136 MW · ~35 M gal/yr cooling water
- Moderate growth136 MW · ~35 M gal/yr cooling water
- High growth272 MW · ~70 M gal/yr cooling water
- Higher growth272 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.
