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. Operational

    Operational since 2007 per Google's own Berkeley County location page; one of Google's earliest U.S. data centers.

    Underlying source

Source notes

Google's flagship South Carolina data center in the Mount Holly / Moncks Corner area of Berkeley County — one of Google's first U.S. data centers, operational since 2007, expanded since. Google states $13B+ invested in South Carolina since 2007 (a statewide figure spanning Berkeley + the Dorchester County sites, not site-specific). Distinct from the Google Ridgeville (Project Dawson) and St. George (Winding Woods) campuses, which are in Dorchester County and tracked separately as of September 2026. No site-specific IT-load MW is disclosed. Coordinates are an approximate geocode of a disclosed campus address. As of 2026-09-10, Google's own current data-center site still describes the Berkeley County/Moncks Corner facility as one of Google's active South Carolina facilities, consistent with the record being listed as operational. No new capacity, water/cooling, street address, land acreage, jobs, subsidies, or community data was found for this specific site in targeted checks of Santee Cooper's newsroom, generation-projects, board-meetings, IRP, and economic-development pages; Berkeley County's own government site (not retrievable as of September 2026); SC Governor's newsroom; SC Commerce newsroom; scbiz.com; and Google's own site (no per-site address/capacity breakdown -- Google groups all three SC facilities under one page). Santee Cooper's board-meetings page appears to render minutes/agendas via a JS document-management widget, so as of September 2026 its content had not been checked.

Google structured a PPA via Sol Systems for 225 MW of new solar (developed by Pine Gate Renewables) plus 18 MW of battery storage across North and South Carolina, explicitly framed as supporting Google's operations in the region and its 24/7 carbon-free energy goal.
