No selected public MW; Distilled reports about 1 GW across four Iowa/Nebraska Google sites, but opened official Google sources do not disclose capacity and the figure is not a single facility/campus IT-load value.

Record Notes

Google's Iowa announcement confirms an additional $7 billion investment in cloud and AI infrastructure, including a new Cedar Rapids data center and expansion in Council Bluffs. Google's Nebraska data-center page confirms facilities in Lincoln, Omaha, and Papillion and says Google has invested more than $15 billion in Nebraska since 2019. Distilled separately reported that four Google sites across Iowa and Nebraska would soon have about 1 GW of power between them for Gemini training.

ADCI removes the previous 1,000 MW selected public capacity because opened official Google sources do not disclose a MW value for the Iowa/Nebraska cluster, and the third-party 1 GW statement is a rough aggregate rather than a Google-disclosed facility or campus capacity. The separate Google / Tenaska Nebraska 1,000-3,000 MW proposal remains a distinct follow-up lead, not this record.
