Data Notes
Coverage
This database attempts to document all major datacenter projects in the United States with announced investment exceeding $10 million or power capacity exceeding 10 MW. Smaller projects, especially enterprise datacenters, may not be fully represented.
Limitations
- • "Announced" does not mean "built" — many projects are modified or canceled
- • Investment figures often include multi-phase totals that may span decades
- • Power capacity may refer to planned maximum, not current operational capacity
- • Some fields contain null/missing values where data is unavailable
Updates
The database is updated periodically as new information becomes available. The lastUpdated field in individual records indicates when that record was last modified.
