Google is considering a data center in Nebraska that would require up to 3,000 megawatts of power, more than Lincoln's peak demand. The center would be powered by a new gas-fueled power plant constructed by Tenaska, utilizing carbon capture technology.

The project may be operational by 2029, contingent on new legislation permitting privately built power facilities. The Nebraska public power districts have endorsed the legislation, which aims to attract large industrial customers. Google has invested over $3.5 billion in Nebraska since 2019, and the data center would be one of the largest in the U.S. if built.
