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.

No dated operational history is established in this record. Publication, discovery and source-update dates are not opening dates.

Source notes

Subsidy: no formal abatement request had been filed as of 24 July 2026, according to Yellowhammer News, which reports that the granting body would be the Lowndes County Commission. Under legislation signed by Gov. Kay Ivey in April 2026, an abatement approved before 1 January 2027 could run up to 30 years; after that date the maximum is 20 years. In October 2026 the Lowndes County Commission voted 3-2 to approve the tax abatements and project agreement; AL.com, republished by GovTech, reports the county granted "more than $1.1 billion in tax abatements", including 50% of the county non-educational property tax and the construction and server equipment refresh sales and use tax. No named tenant: Yellowhammer describes Cloverleaf as a Houston- and Seattle-based speculative developer assembling land for an unnamed future operator; the AI classification is therefore likely, not confirmed. Investment is "$1.5 billion" per WSFA and Route Fifty ("at least $1.5 billion in the development stage"), which is the floor recorded. The developer's own site, which said "Over a $1 billion taxable investment in Lowndes County" in September 2026, states no investment figure as of October 2026. Jobs: as of October 2026 the developer's site says the project will employ "more than 1,000 construction workers" and that full-time roles "will grow from 225 initially to over 300 at full scale"; the recorded figures are those floors (more than 1,000 construction jobs, over 300 full-time jobs at full scale). Other coverage that could not be retrieved as of September 2026 cites 1,000-1,500 construction and over 200 permanent jobs. Footprint: "more than 800 acres in northeast Lowndes County" and "2.88 million square feet" (Yellowhammer). Zoning: reporting notes Cloverleaf could buy and develop here because Lowndes County has no planning or zoning authority. Coordinates are the OSM-confirmed U.S. 80 / AL 21 junction that WSFA names as the site vicinity, not a parcel boundary; the actual footprint is somewhere in northeast Lowndes County near that junction.

Route Fifty: "The facility has requested 1,500 megawatts of energy capacity from Alabama Power." WSFA reports the site sits "underneath a 500 kV electrical line" near the U.S. 80 / Alabama 21 intersection, and that the company was still finalizing power contracts as of 4 June 2026. Cloverleaf states on its project site that it will fund the necessary electric-service upgrades itself.
