AWS New Albany
Running (some may still be expanding)
AWS New Albany is an AI data center in New Albany, Ohio, developed or operated by Amazon. Satellite imagery shows its computers drawing about 213 MW today, against 338 MW planned.
U.S. average: 18.2¢ (+3.4%).
Statewide context, not this project’s effect: prices move for many reasons. Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration.
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.

Expected operational date for the remaining tracked buildings (11, and 1-4) across the three campuses. This estimate is based on the previous buildings taking roughly 1.5 years from steel framing to complete operational status. Note that we're only including roughly 44% of all the New Albany campuses IT Power as being dedicated to leading AI chips, based on all the types of compute instances listed.

Satellite imagery shows Building 1 in the northern campus still appears structurally finished, with no visible change from the prior two months, but we're still not counting it operational due to visible construction work around the perimeter. Buildings 2-3 still have nearby generators/cooling equipment being installed, and Building 4 is only roughly 80% roofed. Eastern campus Buildings 5-9 remain operational. Middle campus Buildings 10, 12, 13, and 14 remain operational; Building 11 is still installing backup generators and is not counted.
- Mar 12, 2026Satellite analysis by Epoch AI · 213 MW in use
Middle campus Buildings 10, 12, 13, and 14 appear complete/likely operational. Building 11 is still installing backup generators, so it is not counted as operational. Based on satellite imagery, northern campus Buildings 1-3 appear in late construction, with all roofs complete but nearby generator/cooling equipment still being installed for buildings 2-3. Building 4 is still early in construction. Eastern campus Buildings 5-9 appear complete and operational as expected. Note that we're only including roughly 44% of all the New Albany campuses IT Power as being dedicated to leading AI chips, based on all the types of compute instances listed.
- Dec 1, 2024Satellite analysis by Epoch AI · 113 MW in use
Buildings 5-9 (eastern campus) operational. New Albany’s Dec. 2024 report lists AWS partial occupancy for 5 buildings at the eastern campus. Note that we're only including roughly 44% of all the New Albany campuses IT Power as being dedicated to leading AI chips, based on all the types of compute instances listed. The full IT power is much higher than 113 MW.

Land clearing begins for Buildings 5-9 (eastern campus).
