Powered by Ameren Missouri grid. AWS committed to working with Ameren to ensure project energy costs are not passed to other ratepayers. AWS announced a separate 138MW renewable energy project in Missouri (not confirmed as on-site or dedicated to this campus).
Water sourced from Cambrian-Ordovician aquifer via wells drilled to ~1,500 ft depth (to avoid impacting local private wells at shallower depths). Initial phase projected at 2.9M gallons/year; full 17-building campus projected at ~50M gallons/year (~0.137 MGD equivalent). Regional aquifer capacity exceeds 23 trillion gallons; current regional utilization ~8%; this project adds ~0.03%. On-site stormwater management ponds and water treatment plant planned. Cooling methodology not publicly specified.

Community sentiment
Preserve Montgomery County LLC (coalition of local residents, farmers, and business owners) filed a 10-count lawsuit in February 2026 alleging Missouri Sunshine Law violations — specifically that county commissioners conducted negotiations in closed sessions and signed NDAs with Amazon. Community concerns at public meetings included water usage impacts, potential electric rate increases, and loss of rural character. Some residents and officials expressed support for the project's economic benefits. Construction proceeded despite the pending suit. Montgomery County Commission stated real property taxes are not abated and projected the project would double the county's tax revenue at full buildout.
