Google Jackson County Data Center is a Google campus at 48809 Alabama Hwy 277 in Bridgeport, Jackson County, Alabama, on 320 acres of the retired Widows Creek coal plant. Google announced the site in 2015 as a $600 million investment and opened the first data center in 2018, reusing the plant's electric transmission lines. The Tennessee Valley Authority is Google's electric utility here, and Google began building a solar farm in 2019 to supply the data center.
