Prado AI Industrial Campus (data center + 350 MW gas plant)

Ridgeland, Madison County, MS

Prado AI Industrial Campus (data center + 350 MW gas plant) is an announced data center project in Ridgeland, MS, backed by Prado AI Industrial (PraCon Global Investment Group). Prado AI filed MPSC Docket 2026-AD-10 (April 14, 2026) seeking a declaratory opinion that a self-powered AI industrial campus in Ridgeland (data center plus semiconductor fab, leased to tenants) is not a public utility. The campus would be served by a dedicated 350 MW natural gas plant (generation MW, not data center load); Entergy Mississippi and Mississippi Power opposed. Developer said other Mississippi sites are also being evaluated.
