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: 74.6 GW (EIA-930, 2026-09-27 05:00). Meta Prometheus Data Center's announced 1 GW would be 1.3% of the grid's current load.
