Amazon Web Services (AWS) has scaled up its planned investment in data centers in Mississippi to $25 billion.

This is more than double its projected spend in the state made just two years ago, with the company planning to invest $10bn in data centers.

According to AWS, the total statewide planned investment will create around 2,000 "high-skilled" jobs across all of its data center operations, and includes the previously announced projects in Madison County, Hinds County, and Warren County.

The Warren County project is the longest-standing, with AWS revealing in November 2025 that it would invest $3bn in a campus in Vicksburg. Exact details surrounding the size, power capacity, and location of the campus are sparse, but construction is slated to start this year, and Entergy Mississippi has agreed to provide power.

Also part of the $25bn investment is Project Atlas in Madison County, which AWS has said will require $11bn - up from previous reports of $10bn - throughout its development, and will include "multiple data center complexes" in two Madison County industrial parks, which will create at least 1,000 jobs. Those data centers will cover around 1,700 acres of land in total. Power is also set to come from Entergy Mississippi.

The third site is in Hinds County, where AWS is investing $1bn in converting the former Delphi manufacturing plant into a data center. AWS was previously reported to be involved in the project in March 2026, but had not officially revealed its involvement.

At present, AWS said that more than 75 local companies are working on these construction projects, which are employing "thousands of construction workers, electricians, and operational staff."

“Amazon isn’t just reinvesting in Mississippi—the company is once again betting on our people. $25 billion in two years is providing Mississippians with high-tech, high-paying opportunities, strengthening our communities, and showing the world that our state is open for business," Governor Tate Reeves said. “This is what transformational economic growth looks like, and it’s happening right here, right now. This is Mississippi’s time."

“Amazon’s $25 billion investment in Mississippi to build data centers will create 2,000 high-skilled jobs and bring new energy generation to the grid," added David Zapolsky, Amazon's chief global affairs and legal officer. "We’re covering all our energy expenses, increasing our investment in Madison County, expanding into Warren County, and transforming a former manufacturing plant in Hinds County—producing reliable infrastructure that will serve Mississippi for generations. Governor Reeves and local leaders have been outstanding partners, and we're just getting started.”

Part of the effort to cover all energy expenses has seen AWS working with Entergy Mississippi on the Superpower Mississippi Initiative - a project that will see the state grid modernized with $300 million in investments. This is hoped to bring a 50 percent improvement in grid reliability and 50 percent reduction in power outages.

AWS has also invested in five renewable energy projects, totaling 616MW of new carbon-free energy in Mississippi through solar and wind farms across the state. Amazon has previously stated that it has invested $2.3bn in these renewable projects.

Other changes for the state include that AWS will transition its Canton campus to using 100 percent recycled wastewater for cooling, beginning in 2027, and is working with Arable on a water replenishment project.

This year so far has seen AWS making major investment commitments in Louisiana in the US, with $12bn set for its first data center campuses in the state, and across the pond in Europe with a massive $21bn additional investment for Aragon, Spain.

In president and CEO Andy Jassy's recent letter to shareholders, the company reaffirmed its plans to spend some $200bn in 2026 in expanding its data center footprint. In 2025 alone, AWS stood up 3.9GW of power capacity, and is expected to double its total footprint (undisclosed) by the end of 2027.
