Each proposed data center would be approximately 150,000 sq ft. The identity of the company behind Archbald I remains undisclosed.
DEVELOPMENT: Microsoft flags local opposition. Microsoft has alerted investors to potential delays in its data center build-out due to local opposition, moratoriums, and hyper-local dissent.

Google has partnered with Broadwing Energy to develop a natural gas power plant with carbon capture and storage (CCS) in Decatur, Illinois, on Archer Daniels Midland (ADM)’s campus. The facility will generate over 400 megawatts of electricity while capturing up to 90% of CO₂ emissions.
ENERGY: Meta signs two Louisiana solar PPAs with Treaty Oak. Meta has signed two Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with Treaty Oak Clean Energy for solar projects in Morehouse Parish and Sabine Parish, Louisiana, with a combined capacity of 385MW.
