Google is expanding in Alabama with a new data center facility that powers essential digital services and supports long-term regional growth. As part of the expansion, Google is funding 100% of its own power and infrastructure costs.

The company announced a $2 million Energy Impact Fund in partnership with the TVA and CAANEAL to support local energy efficiency and weatherization programs. Google is also donating $550,000 to provide STEM kits for local fourth-to-eighth graders.

These initiatives build on Google's prior local impact, which includes supporting water stewardship in the Paint Rock River Watershed, training over 130,000 Alabamians in digital skills, and generating hundreds of full-time and construction jobs.
