Google announced its first data centre in Wyoming on 5 November 2026, as part of a long-term $17 billion investment in the state. The partners are Tallgrass Energy, Black Hills Energy, American Electric Power (AEP) and Related Digital. The project is contracted with AEP for a 702 MW fuel cell development with carbon capture and storage, using fuel cells made by Bloom Energy, and the data centre will be air-cooled.

Why it matters

Google says it will pay for 100% of the power it uses and expects the project to generate hundreds of millions of dollars in local property taxes for Laramie County and School District 1.
