Idaho
Datacenter Source tracks 3 data centers in Idaho, including 1 AI campuses. Facilities that disclose power add up to 198 MW online and 0 MW in the pipeline. These are floors, not market size: 33% of facilities have a power figure. Largest operators by tracked MW: Meta and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Power reality
Announced capacity vs. what grid records, construction and operation document. Facility-level sums; sources differ in coverage.
How to read this
Each bar sums one kind of evidence across facilities. Announced is the largest MW a company, utility, government or press source reported. Interconnection requests are MW in active large-load queue requests. Of the grid operators we ingest, only NYISO publishes these project by project. Contracted / approved means an executed interconnection agreement or a reported utility or power contract. Under construction and Operational come from construction records, imagery or operator reports.
The gap between announced and documented MW is capacity that has been claimed but not yet backed by a grid, construction or operating record. It is not proof a project won't happen. On-site generation is listed separately and never added to grid capacity. Method
Time to power puts each site's pending MW (announced minus operational) into a bucket by the midpoint of its evidence-based window. The window starts at the furthest documented stage and adds editorial ranges for what remains (e.g. announced: 2–5 yrs; land acquired: 2–4.5 yrs; planning / zoning: 1.75–4 yrs). Insufficient evidence means no dated stage evidence, not a delay. Windows are ranges, not forecasts. All ranges and rules

No large gaps in this scope.
Coverage
How much of this scope our sources describe. Low coverage means data isn't disclosed or not yet collected, not that there's nothing there.
Confirmed evidence = at least one fact about the facility itself from a filing, deed, permit, interconnection record, or government or utility record. Regional context (state prices, nearby plants, utility territory maps) doesn't count. Most facilities come from OpenStreetMap, which records that a building exists but rarely its power, owner or status.
