Alabama's estimated environmental footprint
Summed across Alabama's 3 mapped facilities (~85 MW of representative IT draw), these are order-of-magnitude estimates — modelled from each facility's type and US grid/water averages, not metered readings.
Carbon assumes the US grid average of 384 gCO₂/kWh; water uses a 1.8 L/kWh on-site (and 9.4 L/kWh all-in) water-usage-effectiveness reference. Hyperscale campuses on cleaner or dirtier regional grids will vary widely.

Data centers in Alabama: frequently asked questions
How many data centers are in Alabama?
Alabama has 3 mapped data center facilities, across 3 cities including Birmingham, Huntsville, Montgomery. Each is plotted on the interactive map with an estimated daily energy use, electricity cost, and carbon footprint.
Which companies operate data centers in Alabama?
Operators on the map include DC BLOX, Meta.
Where are most data centers located in Alabama?
Alabama's mapped data centers are concentrated around Birmingham, Huntsville, Montgomery. Open any facility on the map to see its exact location, operator, and estimated footprint.
Are these Alabama energy and carbon figures measured?
No — energy, cost, and carbon are order-of-magnitude estimates derived from each facility's type and the regional electricity grid, not metered readings. They are for awareness and comparison, with data sources cited on the map.
What is the environmental impact of data centers in Alabama?
Combined, Alabama's 3 mapped facilities draw an estimated 0.6 TWh of electricity a year — roughly the yearly power of 57,434 homes — emitting about 237,992 metric tons of CO₂ and using on the order of 295 million gallons of cooling water (≈1,539 million gallons including upstream power generation). These are order-of-magnitude estimates from facility type and US grid/water averages, not metered readings.
