Track data center projects and understand the power, water, cooling, public decisions, business impacts, and community questions connected to each one—with the sources attached.
News articles provide timely reporting and research leads. SCDIA independently classifies and verifies factual claims through its evidence process.
The National Nuclear Security Administration selected Amentum to negotiate a phased lease for a proposed 1 GW AI data center at the Savannah River Site, supported by about 2 GW of planned on-site generation; the selection is not a final lease award.
Newberry County Administrator Ted Luckadoo addressed public questions about Project Altair, including power, water, noise, transparency, traffic, incentives and the feasibility studies still required before a data center could proceed.
TigerDC announced it is formally withdrawing Project Spero from consideration in Spartanburg County.
Share a question, local document, correction, survey response, or experience. Public input is reviewed separately from verified evidence and does not determine factual findings.
Community input is self-selected and is not a representative public-opinion poll. Responses help identify questions and research priorities but do not determine factual findings or verification status.
One landing page, ordered for your purpose. Your selection changes the module order and language — never the underlying facts.
A data center is one building within a much larger infrastructure and public-decision system. Select a connected system to learn what it means.
A central data center node is connected to seven systems: electricity, water, cooling, fiber, government, business and workforce, and community and environment. Each system is selectable.
Data centers can require large, continuous electric loads. Important questions include who supplies the power, what grid upgrades may be required, when service is expected, and who pays for the upgrades.
Every connected system has its own records, sources, and verification classifications across the platform.
Understand nearby projects, water and electricity demand, public decisions, and ways to participate.
Water may be used for cooling, humidification, domestic service, construction, or other facility needs.
Average demand, peak demand, withdrawal, consumption, and discharge are different measurements. Each is tracked separately and never combined.
Not publicly disclosed
Verified, officially announced, developer-reported, SCDIA estimate, requested but not disclosed, unknown, and conflicting are kept distinct. Developer-reported or estimated values are never shown as verified.

“Liquid cooling” describes how heat may leave chips or servers.
It does not by itself establish whether the facility ultimately uses cooling towers, chillers, dry coolers, adiabatic systems, or evaporation. IT cooling method and facility heat-rejection method are tracked separately.
Cooling is determined per facility and is not a utility service.
Verified, officially announced, developer-reported, SCDIA estimate, requested but not disclosed, unknown, and conflicting are kept distinct. Developer-reported or estimated values are never shown as verified.
These totals include only projects with qualifying verified or officially announced values backed by published sources. They are not estimates for every tracked project. Missing values are never shown as zero.
Verified statewide totals. Each metric is published only when its values are verified or officially announced and backed by a published source.
A statewide view of tracked projects, published sources, and counties in scope.
Every material fact is linked to a source and carries a verification classification. These distinctions are preserved everywhere they appear.
Confirmed against an official or primary source.
Stated by the responsible organization in a public filing or release.
Reported by the project developer; not independently confirmed.
A reasoned estimate based on comparable projects; clearly labeled as such.
Not yet publicly documented. Never shown as zero.
Sources disagree; the conflict is surfaced, not hidden.
A prior value was updated or replaced with evidence.
