Amazon has announced a $12 billion investment in northwest Louisiana to build data center campuses across Caddo and Bossier Parishes, expected to create 540 full-time data center jobs and support 1,710 additional positions in the surrounding community. The project includes up to $400 million in local water infrastructure investment, with the campuses designed to operate sustainably by using only surplus water for cooling and leveraging natural air for 87% of the year. Amazon is also launching a $250,000 community fund to support STEM education, sustainability initiatives, and local projects in the greater Shreveport area.
Amazon is one of the world's leading corporate purchasers of carbon-free energy, with over 700 projects globally totaling more than 40 gigawatts-enough to power 12.1 million U.S. homes. These investments add new carbon-free energy sources to the grid, modernize infrastructure, stabilize electricity costs, and create thousands of jobs. Amazon's leadership in this space, recognized by BloombergNEF, is helping drive corporate momentum toward carbon-free energy procurement, which benefits entire communities by adding low-cost clean energy to the grid while supporting America's technological innovation.
