Investing.com -- Google is planning to invest $9 billion in South Carolina to expand its artificial-intelligence infrastructure in the state.

The investment, announced Monday by Alphabet’s (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google, will extend through 2027 and focus on scaling up the company’s Berkeley County data center campus while supporting ongoing construction of two new sites in Dorchester County.

Ruth Porat, president and chief investment officer of Alphabet and Google, shared in a LinkedIn post that the funds will also help finance "programs to protect energy affordability and train the local workforce for careers in the state’s growing tech and energy sector."

"This investment helps support job growth in South Carolina as it benefits from the upside of AI," Porat said.

The announcement represents a significant expansion of Google’s presence in South Carolina as the company continues to build out its AI capabilities across the United States.
