Google New Albany
Running (some may still be expanding)
Google New Albany is an AI data center in New Albany, Ohio, developed or operated by Google for Google DeepMind. Satellite imagery shows its computers drawing about 333 MW today.
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.

Building 5 has all cooling towers installed, and all other components look complete, but there is still light work around the building. Based on that, we estimate 3 more months until operational.

Building 5 has more cooling towers installed but not complete, and the roof is almost complete.
- Jan 18, 2026Satellite analysis by Epoch AI · 333 MW in use
Water vapor from cooling towers is present across Building 1-4, confirming their operation. Building 5 roof is still incomplete, but most backup generators and 5 cooling towers have been installed.

Building 4 is operational, based on all cooling units and tanks installed, minimal construction work around the building. Building 5 roof is half complete. About half of the backup generators are in place. One cooling tower is partly built.
- Jun 1, 2025Satellite analysis by Epoch AI · 222 MW in use
Building 3 is operational, based on all cooling units and tanks installed, minimal construction work around the building. Building 4 still has some work around the cooling towers. Work is underway on Building 5 - some walls and a few backup generators are in place.
- Sep 13, 2024Satellite analysis by Epoch AI · 144 MW in use
Building 2 is operational. Google Earth imagery shows 6 cooling towers installed as of 2024-04-20, and a final 7th unit appeared as of 2024-09-13, with minimal construction around the building. Building 3 roof is also complete.
- Apr 20, 2024Satellite analysis by Epoch AI · 67 MW in use
Building 1 is operational. Based on ~7 months since roof being completed, and cooling towers being installed sometime within that period. Building 2 roof is complete.
