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.

Source notes

Codename 'Project Louie'; Google initially concealed via shell company 'Woodland Caribou LLC'. Campus totals approximately 550 acres in Morgan Township east of Monrovia (bounded by Keller Hill Rd, N Antioch Rd, SR-42, W Union Church Rd); additional ~80 acres acquired within Monrovia town limits, bringing total Google holdings to ~628 acres. Planned 1,200 MW AES Indiana substation per IURC Cause No. 46394 (filed Apr 22 2026); that figure is the utility substation capacity ceiling, not a confirmed steady-state data center load — so it is noted here rather than recorded as capacity. Six buildings plus substation planned. Total investment is reported as $1 billion: the Indiana Daily Student cites documents submitted during Terri Moore's lawsuit over the rezoning, and the Daily Journal, reprinting an Indianapolis Business Journal report (October 2025), says Google has promised to spend at least $1 billion on the campus. Land acquisition spend: ~$78 million for ~15 parcels Sep–Nov 2025. Coordinates approximate (site east of Monrovia near SR-42/Keller Hill Rd area). Annexation dispute with Town of Monrovia active July 2026: county transferred Google parcels to RDC under IC 36-4-3-4.3 to block annexation; Google offered $12M sewer plant upgrade to Monrovia to drop the effort.

AES Indiana sole utility provider. IURC Cause No. 46394 filed Apr 22 2026 under HEA 1007; AES planning 1,200 MW on-site substation; 15-year Customer Specific Contract (CSC); all incremental infrastructure costs paid by Google; IURC order expected Sept 2026.
