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.

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