AWS Berwick
Running (some may still be expanding)
AWS Berwick is an AI data center in Berwick, Pennsylvania, developed or operated by Amazon for Anthropic. Satellite imagery shows its computers drawing about 108 MW today, against 169 MW planned.
U.S. average: 18.2¢ (+3.4%).

Satellite figures are Epoch AI estimates from imagery of buildings, cooling and power equipment; about 80% fall within a factor of 1.4 of the true value.
- Aug 1, 2027ScheduledSatellite analysis by Epoch AI · 169 MW planned
Building 4 expected to come online around August 2027, judging from prior satellite imagery. Modeled at twice Building 2's capacity because Building 4 is approximately twice its size.
- Aug 1, 2026Satellite analysis by Epoch AI · 108 MW in use
Building 3 expected to come online sometime around August 2026, since in the May satellite image it appeared structurally complete with minimal construction surrounding it. Basing MW estimate using Building 2 as a reference.
- May 5, 2026Satellite analysis by Epoch AI · 77 MW in use
Buildings 1 and 2 visibly complete and operational. Building 3 appears complete and may be commissioning, but it's likely not operational yet given the immediate surrounding construction work. Several additional building shells and pads are still in construction, but none are assumed operational due to all the construction work visible. This is based on satellite imagery from this date.

The SRBC increases approved water use from 0.060 MGD to 0.129 MGD. This supports that some expansion is happening, but does not explicitly prove a third operational building.
- Jan 7, 2026Satellite analysis by Epoch AI · 77 MW in use
Building 2 operational estimate. This is based on the progress visible in the September 2025 image. The DEP also issues an air plan approval to add 48 more emergency generators on this date.
- Sep 9, 2025Satellite analysis by Epoch AI · 47 MW in use
Building 1 operational estimate. According to Google Earth Satellite Imagery from this date, Building 1 appears structurally complete and likely operational, while Building 2 is still missing two generators.
- Jun 1, 2024Satellite analysis by Epoch AI · 0 MW in use
Building 1 fit out and related construction begins under Amazon, based on the Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) schedule.

AWS acquires the Cumulus/Talen building campus for $650M.
- Jan 17, 2023Satellite analysis by Epoch AI · 0 MW in use
Cumulus completes a 48 MW, 300,000 sq ft powered shell for the first data center at the Susquehanna campus. The shell is available for lease, with the campus still awaiting its first tenant and commercial operations.

Land clearing begins. Talen Energy reported on July 12, 2021 that site-preparation permits had already been obtained and site work was underway, while permits for construction of the first building were still being pursued. We model land clearing as starting from the beginning of the month.
No hearings, court cases, approvals or disputes are on record for this project yet.
