Amazon Announces $15bn Data Center & AI Investment Plan

Amazon is to invest $15 billion in data center & AI infrastructure in Indiana. This is in addition to the $11 billion investment announced last year in St. Joseph County. The company said it aims to add 2.4GW of capacity in the region, expanding to new sites in the Hoosier State.

“These facilities are purpose-built for scale – optimized for AI, machine learning, and next-generation cloud applications – while maintaining industry-leading standards in energy efficiency and sustainability,” the company said. “Together, our existing and future data center campuses represent the next step in our mission to provide the most advanced, secure, and sustainable cloud infrastructure anywhere in the world.”

“Indiana has long been an important partner for Amazon, and today we are proud to reaffirm our commitment to long-term investment and growth, underscoring our dedication to fueling AI innovation while generating meaningful economic impact throughout the state," said David Zapolsky, Amazon's chief global affairs and legal officer.

"By expanding our advanced cloud infrastructure in Indiana, we are investing in Indiana's technological future through job creation, skills training initiatives, and community engagement programs."
