Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.

Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.

Reported lifecycle history

  1. Proposed

    Underlying source

Source notes

Amazon confirmed the land purchase ($37M per Morrow County property records, confirmed by multiple news sources) but stated development plans are not final. Planning documents submitted to Morrow County describe a 1 GW exascale campus with 20 buildings across 4 million sq ft; Johnson Economics estimated $8B-$12B total investment. Land previously owned by Threemile Canyon Farms dairy. Distinct from Amazon's existing ~800 acres of operating/under-construction OR facilities. The Lincoln Chronicle source could not be retrieved as of July 2026; the primary claim is supported by the DCD source. The utility is PacifiCorp (Pacific Power), the retail utility, rather than Bonneville Power Administration (wholesale). Coordinates are Boardman city centroid; exact site not publicly confirmed. Johnson Economics' economic-impact analysis (Morrow County Planning Commission, Jan 2025) models the full 1 GW campus at roughly $8 billion investment (potential range $7-12 billion), about 6,400 construction FTE over an eight-year build (~800/year) and about 560 operations FTE, assuming an Oregon Strategic Investment Program (SIP) property-tax abatement — modeled projections for a still-proposed campus, not firm commitments.

PacifiCorp (Pacific Power) is the local retail utility in Morrow County; AWS filed power complaints against PacifiCorp in November 2025 regarding insufficient capacity. BPA Columbia River hydroelectric generation underlies the Oregon grid and is a major component of what PacifiCorp delivers. AWS claims 95% renewable sourcing in Oregon. AWS also holds wind PPA (Leaning Juniper IIA, 98.4 MW) in same county.
