Amazon’s $18B Data Center Deal in Louisiana | New Orleans News

Amazon’s $18 billion investment in northwest Louisiana includes three massive data center campuses, with major commitments to water and energy infrastructure to ease community concerns. They’re pouring up to $400 million into public water systems, aiming to return more water to local watersheds than they use, and relying mostly on air cooling—only using water when temps hit 85°F (less than 13% of the time). Partnering with SWEPCO, they’re upgrading the grid without raising costs for existing customers, and working with STACK Infrastructure to protect local resources—all while positioning the project as a community benefit rather than a burden.
