Every one of those 15 data centers draws power and water from the same grid you rely on — reshaping where Indiana rates, land use, and water go, whether or not anyone put it to a vote. Here’s what that means, and what you can do about it.

What these facilities actually do
Hyperscale data centers aren’t ordinary warehouses. Each one draws megawatts of power and millions of gallons of water, and locks in decades of tax abatements — deals routinely approved with little public scrutiny. Across Indiana, that’s 15 facilities quietly reshaping the grid, water table, and tax base. See how the buildout works and where the power and water go.
