Applicant named

Amazon Data Services, Inc.

Stage

Permit pending. The IDEM draft Part 70 air permit for the new Amazon data center is under public comment through Nov 16, 2026, with a virtual hearing on Nov 10, 2026.

Equipment stated

Draft permit Section A.2: 384 diesel critical emergency generators CEG1 to CEG384 at 2,750 kWe (4,043 bhp) each, each with SCR and cDPF. Known inconsistency: Section D.1 also describes 384 generators but lists their control systems as CE1 to CE234 (Section A.2 says CE1 to CE384), and the D.1.5 CO equation refers to CEG1 to CEG234. Also listed: 1 ancillary generator at 1,600 kWe for the water treatment system; 4 house generators HG1 to HG4 at 750 kWe; 384 generator fuel tanks CEG BT 1 to 384 (likely belly tanks) of 6,500 gallons each; 14 bulk tanks of 12,000 gallons each.

Next public date

Nov 10, 2026: IDEM virtual public hearing on the draft permit; the extended comment period ends Nov 16, 2026. permits.air.idem.in.gov, in.gov
