COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Amazon Web Services will invest another
$10 billion to bolster its data center infrastructure in Ohio.
The company and Republican Gov. Mike DeWine announced the plan
Monday. The new investment will boost the amount it has
committed to spending in Ohio by the end of 2029 to more than
$23 billion.
AWS launched its first data centers in the state in 2016 and
currently operates campuses in two counties in central Ohio,
home to the capital city of Columbus. The new investment will
allow AWS to expand its data centers to new sites, but the
company said those locations have not been determined yet and
noted that its investment plans are contingent upon the
execution of long-term energy service agreements.
AWS said the new data centers will contain computer servers,
storage drives, networking equipment and other forms of
technology infrastructure used to power cloud computing,
including artificial intelligence and machine learning.
In June 2023, AWS said it would invest $7.8 billion by the end
of 2029 to expand its data center operations in central Ohio.
That was on top of $6 billion already invested through 2022.
