On Tuesday, Amazon.com, Inc.

AMZN-2.31%

announced plans to invest $11 billion in Georgia through its cloud division,
Amazon Web Services.

What Happened: This investment aims to bolster infrastructure for cloud
computing and artificial intelligence technologies.

With the investment in Butts and Douglas counties, "we expect to create more
than 550 well-paying jobs," said Roger Wehner, vice president of economic
development at AWS.

The expansion of AI and cloud computing has also led to increased electricity
consumption in the U.S.

The Electric Power Research Institute projects that by 2030, data centers could
account for as much as 9% of the electricity produced in the U.S., more than
twice their current usage.

Amazon has secured agreements with U.S. utilities, including Talen Energy in
Pennsylvania and Entergy Corp

in Mississippi, to power its data centers across the country.

Why It Matters: Amazon's initiative is part of a larger trend among tech giants
to invest heavily in AI. Earlier this month, Microsoft Corporation

MSFT-1.02%

announced an $80 billion investment for fiscal 2025 to train AI models and
deploy cloud applications.

CEO Jensen Huang also identified a $1 trillion opportunity.

"The world builds about $1 trillion worth of data centers. In a few years, $1
trillion worth of data centers will be all accelerated computing," he said
during Nvidia's second-quarter earning call.

In December 2024, Amazon also decided to halt the development of its Inferentia
AI chip, focusing instead on the Trainium chip to improve cost performance in AI
model training.

Price Action: Amazon's stock fell 2.42% on Tuesday, closing at $222.11. However,
it recovered slightly with a 0.11% gain in after-hours trading, according to
Benzinga Pro data.
