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.

    X Corp's $700 million investment in AI training hardware for the Atlanta data center is approved by the Development Authority of Fulton County (bond resolution fact sheet).

  2. Feb 20, 202524 MW facility power· 1 buildings operational[1]

    xAI's GPU cluster in the QTS Atlanta building at 1025 Jefferson Street NW is operational around this time. This date is a tentative estimate: Business Insider reported the buildout in February 2025, so the cluster likely came online around or shortly after then, though the exact date is not disclosed. The cluster comprises 11,000 NVIDIA H100 and about 1,448 A100 GPUs, based on documents submitted to Develop Fulton as reported by Business Insider. xAI occupies part of this multi-tenant building, so its cooling is not attributed to xAI alone.

  3. Aug 21, 202524 MW facility power· 1 buildings operational[1]

    No significant change to the building since the cluster became operational.

  4. Jul 10, 202624 MW facility power· 1 buildings operational[1]

    No significant change to the building since the August 2025 image.
