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.

First operational: Jun 1, 2026[1]

Jul 1, 2022[1]
Land clearing begins.
Mar 15, 2026[1]
Building 1 and 2 look complete from outside, with all electrical and cooling equipment installed. Construction has started on 2 smaller buildings to the north. Meta announced the arrival of the first server rack the following week.
Jun 1, 2026198 MW facility power· 2 buildings operational[1]
Building 1 and 2 are operational. The 2nd phase of an offsetting solar array goes online on May 31, 2026. Idaho Public Utilities Comission's approval for this start date notes that "[Meta]’s load is expected to increase so much that it will suffer a capacity deficit in June 2026 if served only by Pleasant Valley Solar 1.1,” A redacted table in the staff comments document suggests the data center's load will continue to increase through August, when it presumably reaches the maximum capacity of both buildings.
