Record Notes
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is investing $20 billion to develop and expand "AI Innovation Campuses" across two key locations in Pennsylvania: Salem Township and Falls Township. These facilities are designed to anchor the massive compute requirements of AWS's generative AI platforms, including Amazon Bedrock and Amazon Q.
The Salem Township site is strategically located near the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station nuclear plant, leveraging direct power purchase agreements to secure consistent baseload carbon-free energy. At full scale, the campuses are projected to draw up to 1.8 gigawatts (GW) of power, significantly expanding AWS's East Coast footprint. These campuses are purpose-built to house the latest generations of AI accelerators, featuring advanced cooling and power distribution systems to manage the high heat and power densities of modern AI workloads.
