Data center campus
Meta Prometheus Data Center (New Albany)
Meta Prometheus Data Center is an AI data center campus developed by Meta in Ohio, New Albany. 1 GW of capacity has been announced; 0.50 GW is energized. The gap is what this page tracks: what is claimed versus what is actually built, each figure dated and sourced.

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.
Manifest totals: 2,405,553 sqft. Rolled from the per-building rows above.

Reported facts
Structured facts sourced from citations already on this record. Each fact traces to a source in the References section below.
- Campus capacity (company-claimed)
- 1 GW or more at New Albany, Ohio once complete
- Named supercluster
- Prometheus
- Nuclear offtake (company-claimed)
- Vistra, TerraPower and Oklo deals support up to 6.6 GW of clean energy by 2035.
- Ohio nuclear partners
- Vistra uprates at Perry, Davis-Besse and Beaver Valley (433 MW); Oklo campus in Pike County up to 1.2 GW.
- On-site gas (reported, unconfirmed)
- Reports describe tent-style halls and Williams behind-the-meter gas plants; not confirmed by Meta.
- Neo Power plant (Oct 2026)

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.
