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 approached the Linn County Board of Supervisors about a project of up to six buildings near the Duane Arnold Energy Center.

    Underlying source

Source notes

Proposed campus of up to six buildings on land near the Duane Arnold Energy Center in unincorporated Linn County near Palo. Distinct site from Google's existing Cedar Rapids data center at the Big Cedar Industrial Center. No construction timeline set; Google shifted from county approval to annexation into the City of Palo in February 2026.

Google is helping recommission the Duane Arnold Energy Center with the intention that it power this campus; Iowa Public Radio reported the plant would supply over 90 percent of the data center's power, about 565 MW. That is a plant-supply figure, not a confirmed IT load for the campus.
