How the time-to-power window was estimated
Evidence used
  • Current stage: Operational (furthest stage with documented evidence)[1]
  • Stated date: Next projected milestone: 2026-09-30 (modeled/speculative)[1]
  • Required: 231 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

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.

  2. Feb 5, 2023[1]

    A traditional H-shaped Meta data center is partially built.

  3. Apr 1, 2023[1]

    The traditional Meta data center has been demolished mid-construction, in favor of Meta's new AI-optimized design.

  4. Nov 15, 2025[1]

    Building 1 and 2 look complete from outside, with all electrical and cooling equipment installed. Space is cleared for Building 3.

  5. Dec 9, 2025198 MW facility power· 2 buildings operational[1]

    Building 1 and 2 are operational. Activity related to the air quality permit (namely, emergency diesel generators) was reported to have started as of 2025-12-09. This is our best estimate, but note that the planned completion date in this regulatory filing is 2026-03-01.

  6. Feb 24, 2026198 MW facility power· 2 buildings operational[1]

    Building 3 is under construction. An outline is visible for the building which has similar dimensions to those deployed at the Meta Prometheus site.

  7. Sep 30, 2026Projected231 MW facility power· 3 buildings operational[1]

    Building 3 is operational. Based on the stated completion date in this regulatory filing
