Meta Hyperion
Meta with Blue Owl Capital, Entergy
ConstructionLocation
Richland Parish, Louisiana
Meta's largest single data center campus. Originally announced December 2024 as a $10 billion independent project; restructured in October 2025 into a $27 billion joint venture with Blue Owl Capital (80% Blue Owl, 20% Meta). On July 13, 2026 Meta said it is expanding the Richland Parish site to 5 GW of compute capacity, the largest in its fleet, representing an investment of more than $50 billion in the region; the site houses Hyperion, Meta's largest multi-gigawatt AI training cluster. Phase 1 targets 1.5 GW by late 2027, using roughly 1.3 million NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs. Entergy Louisiana is the serving utility.

OperationalLocation
Memphis, Tennessee
natural gas turbines plus grid
Operational since late 2024, initially with 100,000 NVIDIA H100s, expanding to 555,000+ GPUs across Colossus 1 and 2 by 2026. SpaceX acquired xAI in February 2026 and merged the AI division into SpaceXAI in May 2026. In May 2026, Anthropic leased the entire Colossus 1 cluster to supplement its Google Cloud TPU capacity; Anthropic's own May 6, 2026 announcement confirms over 300 MW of new capacity and more than 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs but states no price or term. The SpaceX IPO filing puts the Anthropic rent at $1.25 billion a month through May 2029 and directly references 130 MW of compute at Colossus and 210 MW at Colossus 2, with a next Colossus 2 phase of at least 220,000 GB300 processors and over 400 MW. Local controversy persists over temporary gas turbines and air quality in nearby neighborhoods.
Three Mile Island Unit 1 Restart
Microsoft with Constellation Energy
PermittedLocation
Londonderry Township, Pennsylvania
Constellation will restart Three Mile Island Unit 1 (renamed Crane Clean Energy Center) under a 20-year power purchase agreement with Microsoft. Unit 1 is the undamaged reactor on the site; Unit 2 was the one that suffered the 1979 partial meltdown and remains permanently shut. In its Q2 2026 results (August 6, 2026) Constellation said FERC granted a waiver to transfer capacity interconnection rights to Crane and the NRC approved a fuel license amendment, moving it closer to restarting operations in 2027.

Amazon Susquehanna Campus
Amazon Web Services with Talen Energy
ConstructionLocation
Salem Township, Pennsylvania
AWS acquired the Cumulus data center campus adjacent to Talen Energy's Susquehanna nuclear plant for $650 million. After FERC blocked an amended co-located interconnection in late 2024, the parties restructured: in June 2025 Talen signed a PPA to supply Amazon with 1,920 MW of carbon-free nuclear power through 2042, ramping to full volume no later than 2032, with the co-located arrangement moving to a front-of-the-meter structure after transmission reconfigurations expected in spring 2026. Amazon tied the deal to a $20 billion Pennsylvania investment.

Multiple separately-reported feasibility programs into placing AI training or inference capacity in low Earth orbit. In its May 6, 2026 compute announcement Anthropic said it has expressed interest in partnering with SpaceX to develop multiple gigawatts of orbital AI compute capacity, which is an expression of interest and not a signed build; Google has separately explored similar concepts via Starcloud-style partners. Power thesis: continuous solar plus vacuum heat-rejection sidesteps the grid and water constraints driving terrestrial buildouts. Capacity, capex, and timeline figures are all aspirational at this stage. Concept-stage entry; we will reclassify when a launch contract or specific construction commitment lands.
