Capacity: announced vs energized

Announced-to-energized gap: 0.50 GW. Every figure below is a single dated, sourced claim. Current best per series resolves by evidence tier, then date. See the methodology.

Promised online: 2026. Energized capacity is now on record. Claimed by Mark Zuckerberg / Meta (source).

Construction evidence

Dated satellite imagery of the site itself, oldest to newest, with the campus milestones that landed in each window. This is what the site looked like from orbit while announcements, permits, and energizations were dated into our ledger, so bare land, grading, and building mass tell their own story alongside the paper trail.

Dated Sentinel-2 imagery, gated to hand-verified site coordinates. Milestones synthesized from the campus's own capacity ledger, financial claims, and lifecycle events; each chip links to its source. How we source and verify it: satellite construction evidence.

Per-building manifest tied to the site polygons and imagery. When we know a building's outline we render it; when we know only its year and capacity we still surface those as first-class rows so the campus total is auditable, not a headline claim. Sorted largest-first; 6 on record.

Williams Socrates South (behind-the-meter gas), 0.20 GW gas, Under construction. ~307.5 MW nameplate, ~258 MW at design ambient, 200 MW firm; construction began June 2025, targeted before end of 2026.

Vistra Ohio nuclear PPA, 2.10 GW nuclear, Financed. Meta to buy >2.1 GW from two Vistra nuclear plants in Ohio plus expansions; also TerraPower, Oklo (Aurora Powerhouse, Pike County) and Constellation agreements.

Contracted renewables (Ohio solar / Indiana wind), 0.80 GW solar storage, Financed. Over 800 MW of renewable energy contracted.

The PJM grid demand right now: 90.8 GW (EIA-930, 2026-11-11 19:00). Meta Prometheus Data Center's announced 1 GW would be 1.1% of the grid's current load.

County water status: No drought in Licking County, week of 2026-11-03 (US Drought Monitor). Data centers are large water users for cooling; this is the neutral local water picture.

What is Meta Prometheus Data Center (New Albany)?
Meta Prometheus Data Center (New Albany) is an AI data center campus tracked on the DEPLOY registry, located in New Albany. DEPLOY records its capacity as a dated, sourced ledger: announced gigawatts versus actually energized gigawatts, never a press-release total.
How much power will Meta Prometheus Data Center (New Albany) use?
Meta Prometheus Data Center (New Albany) has 1 GW of announced capacity on the DEPLOY registry, of which 0.50 GW is recorded as energized, an announced-to-energized gap of 0.50 GW. Each figure is individually dated and sourced.
Who is building Meta Prometheus Data Center (New Albany)?
Meta is recorded as a party to Meta Prometheus Data Center (New Albany) on the DEPLOY registry. The full party list, with each role, is on the record.
Is Meta Prometheus Data Center (New Albany) operating yet?
