AI evidence brief
Summarizes only the evidence on this page. Answers citing anything else are rejected automatically.
How the time-to-power window was estimated
Evidence used
  • Current stage: Operational (furthest stage with documented evidence)[1]
  • Stated date: Next projected milestone: 2027-02-02 (modeled/speculative)[1]
  • Required: 465 MW
Assumptions
  • From “Under construction”, large loads have typically taken 0.5–2 more years to first power (editorial range; see Methodology).
  • The window is a range of plausible outcomes under these assumptions, not a forecast. It moves as new filings, queue updates or imagery arrive.
Window: H1 2027 – H2 2028

Power (all fields)

Current facility power
199 MW[1]Likelyestimated

Estimated total facility power (IT plus cooling and overhead) at the latest observed milestone.

Current IT capacity
153 MW[1]Likelyestimated

Estimated IT load currently online, based on buildings observed operational.

Planned capacity
465 MW[1]Likelyestimated

Projected facility power at the last tracked milestone (2027-02-23); not necessarily full build-out.

Estimated annual consumption

199 MW × 8,760 h × 70% utilization.

Capacity figures are nameplate or contracted; annual consumption is a labeled model estimate, not metered data.

Utility, ISO and nearby assets are derived from the site's location. Proximity to a substation or line doesn't establish the interconnection; that needs a utility filing or interconnection-queue record. Queue requests are applications, not commitments — most never reach operation.

Timeline

Construction start: Mar 1, 2025[1]
First operational: Jun 18, 2026[1]
  1. Mar 1, 2025[1]

    Land clearing begins.

  2. Jul 4, 2025[1]

    Building 1 and 2 under construction, with all chillers visible.

  3. Mar 20, 2026[1]

    Buildings 1 and 2 are nearly complete, but there's still some equipment strewn around the site and few cars in the front carpark, so we expect 3 more months needed for commissioning and server installation. Building 3 has a half-finished roof and Building 4 shell is beginning construction. Buildings 5 and 6 are under construction.

  4. Jun 18, 2026199 MW facility power· 2 buildings operational[1]

    We estimate Buildings 1 and 2 are operational.

  5. Feb 2, 2027Projected266 MW facility power· 4 buildings operational[1]

    Buildings 5 and 6 are operational (estimate). Based on the tent buildings at Meta Prometheus taking about 12 months from starting the tent structure to estimated operation.

  6. Feb 23, 2027Projected465 MW facility power· 6 buildings operational[1]

    Buildings 3 and 4 are operational (estimate). In September 2025, Building 1 and 2 appeared to be in a similar state to Building 3 and 4 in May 2026. Based on that, we apply an 8-month delay to the Building 1 and 2 operational date to get the Building 3 and 4 operational date.
