Amazon has announced an expanded planned investment in Northwest Louisiana, increasing its commitment from $12 billion to $18 billion with a third data center campus at Resilient Technology Park in Shreveport.
- The additional $6 billion investment is expected to create 210 direct jobs, bringing the project to as many as 750 direct jobs across three campuses.
- Amazon and STACK Infrastructure will continue development across Caddo and Bossier parishes; Amazon also plans to invest up to $400 million in public water infrastructure and says it has provided nearly $500,000 in grants since February.
- The data centers will primarily use air cooling, with water used when temperatures exceed approximately 85 degrees; construction is expected to support up to 2,250 jobs for local contractors, skilled tradespeople and suppliers.

White House Expands Data Center Ratepayer Pledge as Congress Moves to Codify Protections
The White House expanded its voluntary Ratepayer Protection Pledge to 187 utilities, electric cooperatives, and data-center developers, while Congress advanced the bipartisan Ratepayer Protection Act from committee 52-0.
- The White House said the pledge now covers 187 organizations plus 23 governors, and the coalition “protects” 263 million Americans; signatories commit to fund generation and grid upgrades for their data-center loads without shifting costs to other ratepayers.
- The House Energy and Commerce Committee advanced H.R. 9340 on July 21; the bill would require state regulators and nonregulated utilities to consider a large-load standard for sites with at least 100 MW peak demand and recover the full incremental cost of grid upgrades. New York’s Executive Order 62 separately put permits for 50 MW+ data centers on hold pending an environmental review.
