AI Data Centers
Where the listed neoclouds (Applied Digital, CoreWeave, IREN, Nebius Group, TeraWulf) and the hyperscalers (Alphabet, Amazon, Meta Platforms, Oracle, SpaceX) build AI data centers: how much capacity is announced, contracted, under construction and live - and where projects slip or meet resistance. Every figure links its source, a shared campus counts once, and estimates are marked.

Active sites113every campus counted once, whoever owns or rents it · 1 withdrawn or paused site kept on record, not counted
Planned / contracted7.16 GW server load · 19.13 GW grid powerserver load and grid power are never added together
Operational capacity980 MW server load · 208 MW grid powerserver load = what reaches the computers; grid power = what the sites draw, incl. cooling
Server load vs. grid power - what's the difference?
Grid power (also called gross or utility power) is what a data center draws from the power grid. Server load (also called IT load) is the part that actually reaches the computers - the AI chips, servers and network. The difference goes into cooling, power conversion and the rest of the building.
200 MW grid power
- In this tracker, 7 project phases publish both figures: grid power is 1.3× to 1.5× the server load (typically 1.5×).
- Companies usually publish only one of the two. Site pages always show the published figure. To compare companies anyway, the Statistics tab converts the missing measure at the typical ratio above and marks those figures with ~ - an estimate, because the ratio differs from site to site.
- Reading tip: server load says how much AI computing a site can run; grid power says how much the power grid has to deliver.

Data centers on the map 114
Every publicly located AI data center of all companies. The map shows exactly these rows; open a row (or a bubble) for its phases, dates and sources.
Each row: name and place · who owns, builds, runs, rents or uses it · planned size and what of it is live, in server load (power for the computers) or grid power (what the site draws, incl. cooling), as the company publishes it · status and next target date.
Reported problems 81 open · 20 resolved
Problems that news and filings report for the data centers of all companies: grid and power, permits, local opposition, water, financing, construction delays. Each row names the problem, the data center and where it is, and the companies behind the site with their roles. Few reports is not the same as few problems.
