Amazon and Veolia deploy reclaimed water systems for data centre cooling in Mississippi.

Amazon has reduced the proposed shore facility for its U.S.–Ireland Fastnet cable to a power-feed building of less than 700 square feet, with no water connection and limited power demand. The smaller design answers part of Worcester County’s concern about infrastructure intensity. It does not answer the decisive question: whether the county will permit the use, grant a workable site and let the wider cable system move through construction and acceptance.

Amazon raised £4.25 billion in its first sterling bond sale, but the proceeds are not tied to a named infrastructure project.

Amazon has confirmed that it bought Pacifico Energy’s more than 8,000-acre GW Ranch site in Pecos County, Texas. The customer identity removes one uncertainty from an unusually large behind-the-meter proposition, but permits and plans do not yet establish buildings, energised capacity, occupied compute load or actual emissions.

Amazon has confirmed that its planned Pecos County data centre will rely on new on-site generation. The confirmation supplies the missing customer-side link to Pacifico Energy’s GW Ranch, a private-power campus whose Texas air permit covers 7.65GW of gross gas-fired generation. That number is not Amazon’s IT load, and the permit’s 33m-tonne annual greenhouse-gas ceiling is not an emissions forecast. What has changed is the control map: the project is designed to bypass the public-grid connection queue, making fuel, dispatch, plant availability and air compliance part of the data-centre operating stack.

Amazon Leo has asked the US Federal Communications Commission for authority to deploy up to 5,105 direct-to-device satellites, with deployment proposed to begin in 2028. The filing defines a network architecture and a route to mobile-operator partnerships; it does not yet establish authorization, service availability or commercial capacity.

Amazon Leo signs UK Connect as a UK reseller to bring LEO satellite connectivity into enterprise WAN and managed network deployments.

Amazon and three satellite operators have launched the first dedicated NGSO lobby group without SpaceX at the table. Led by former NTIA head David Redl, SpaceConnect signals that smaller players see spectrum policy as a competitive battleground — not just a technical question. Whether it can counter Starlink's regulatory momentum depends on cohesion across very different business models.

Amazon says it will not proceed with the Calvert Technology Center site in Maryland and, in its first on-record explanation, describes the move as a portfolio-allocation decision rather than a political one. The proposed three-campus, roughly 500 MW concept has left the local development queue. The spending, any replacement capacity and the commercial terms around the site remain undisclosed, while Amazon says Constellation Energy is still a valued partner.
