Opposition and litigation at this site
Nothing on record as of September 9, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Calvert Infrastructure Hub in Calvert, Mobile County, Alabama appears in the sources this registry tracks. That is an absence in our sources rather than a finding that none exists, and local opposition often predates any coverage a national dataset would pick up.
If you live near this site and something is happening that this page does not show, that is worth telling us. Send us the document and it goes in the record with the source attached. For sites where opposition is already established, see every contested site we track.
Power and water
Developer's campus page states "Alabama Power will service the site using high voltage power lines they already own." No megawatt figure is given for this campus on that page.
Developer states verbatim: "The site will utilize a closed-loop water system. Evaporative cooling will not be used." That is an explicit recirculating circuit with evaporative rejection ruled out, closed_loop, not `air` (a water circuit exists) and not `evaporative`. No withdrawal or consumption figure is stated.
Notes on the record
Developer's campus page states verbatim: "A 95 acre development out of a 650 acre lot" with "less than 15% of the site planned for development"; "$6 billion"; two data center buildings plus supporting infrastructure; "2027 First Building Completed"; currently in a "planning, engineering, and community engagement phase"; "up to 1,000 construction workers at peak construction" and "250 staff for operations" at an "average salary of $115,000". landAcres records the 650-acre site; the built footprint is 95 acres. NO CAPACITY RECORDED: the campus page states no MW figure. Secondary coverage attributes 6 GW to Beacon's WHOLE portfolio of six-plus campuses across Alberta, New Brunswick, Tom Green County TX, Kern County CA and Calvert, that is a portfolio figure, not this site's capacity, and is deliberately not recorded. COUNTY AMBIGUITY: Beacon's own page places the hub in Mobile County and that is what is recorded, but Calvert is an unincorporated community straddling Mobile and Washington counties, and the OSM village node used for the coordinate sits on the Washington County side. Verify the county against the parcel before publishing. SUBSIDY: no incentive or abatement is mentioned on the developer's page; Mobile County and Alabama Commerce records were NOT checked in this run, so this is an unchecked gap, not an audited negative. Coordinates are the Calvert community centroid, not the 650-acre parcel.
What the record does not establish, and the document that would
In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.
- Power capacity in megawatts
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- How the community has received it
Which document closes each gap
- Power capacity in megawatts
- The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
- How the community has received it
- Planning commission and governing body minutes, public comment records, and any petition or lawsuit filed in the county.
Have one of these documents? Send it to us and we will add it to the record with attribution.
Other sites within 30 miles
Distances are between recorded coordinates, many of which are a city or county centroid, so treat them as approximate. Cumulative load on one utility and one aquifer is the question a planning commission rarely asks.
