SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Amazon AMZN.O said it plans to invest $12 billion in Louisiana as part of a plan to build data centers in the Pelican State.

The Seattle-based online retailer said the data center buildout, in northwest Louisiana, will create 540 full-time jobs, as well as additional jobs it says will help support the facilities, such as electricians and heating, ventilation and air-conditioning technicians.

As part of Amazon's fourth-quarter earnings report earlier this month, the company said it expected $200 billion this year in capital expenditures, a sharp increase from 2025's $131 billion, sending shares lower.
