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

    Google's Nebraska locations page: development of the Lincoln data center was announced in 2023

    Underlying source
  2. Operational

    Google's Nebraska locations page lists a 2026 milestone: the Lincoln data center 'comes online' (no month given). KLKN-TV (2026-08-06) quotes Google calling it an operational data center so far, with construction still underway and a couple hundred people working on site.

Source notes

Google's fourth Nebraska site by official count and distinct from both Papillion (Sarpy Co.) and Omaha (Douglas Co.). It is also distinct from the separate proposed Google/Tenaska gas-plant mega-campus already tracked as Google Nebraska AI Campus (proposed). That one is a ~4-county, still-undeveloped 1,000-3,000MW proposal; this one is Google's confirmed third/fourth site in north Lincoln, operational with construction continuing on site per KLKN 2026-08-06. Google's own Nebraska locations page confirms Lincoln as a distinct site, 'development announced in 2023', part of a $1.2B investment announced that year across all three then-existing NE locations. A local TV station (KLKN) confirms the site is 'currently operational with ongoing construction phases' with roughly 200 on-site personnel, and that Google has committed to work with the city on water infrastructure; the city says it is not currently approving additional data centers beyond this one. Caveat: widely repeated secondary figures for this project (codename 'Agate', ~580 acres, ~$600M, sited northwest of N. 56th St & I-80) come from outlets that were blocked or paywalled on direct retrieval as of August 2026 (Lincoln Journal Star/tollbit, Nebraska Examiner). Those numbers were not independently verified then and are omitted from the structured fields (capacity, investment, acreage) rather than risk propagating an unverified figure. Coordinates mark the N. 56th Street / I-80 interchange, where 1011 NOW places the cooling system and KLKN (2019) places the land northwest of the 56th Street exit; the building footprint itself is not pinned. Community reception, as of 2026-09-10: Google's own data center locations page describes community partnerships/workforce programs in generic marketing terms but documents no specific public hearing, resident testimony, or independently reported local reaction.

1011 NOW (published 2026-09-30) reports that Agate LLC's filing to the Nebraska DWEE states 52.65 megawatts of electricity 'during peak electrical demand'. This is a self-reported peak demand figure, not energy consumed (MWh) and not a contracted or planned capacity; the article gives no reporting period and no source/utility.
