The AI data center pipeline

Method

141 announced projects of at least 100 MW or USD 1 bn, in 29 countries: up to 90.9 GW at full build-out.

Announced ≠ built. Capacity and investment are developers' own claims, often multi-phase and “up to”; they are shown as stated, never as measured, and some projects pause or lose partners. Status reflects the latest source we could verify.

Candidate projects were drawn from operator, government and trade-press (DCD, Reuters, CNBC, company newsrooms) announcements of data-center campuses of >=100 MW announced capacity or >=USD 1 bn announced capex. Each MW, capex, date and status value was confirmed in the text of a source fetched between 2026-09-22 and 2026-09-24; values not found in fetched text are null. MW and capex are as announced/stated by the operator or reported by the cited source, not measured; announced MW is the largest stated build-out for the site. Capex is only filled when a USD figure is stated; other currencies and non-capex figures (economic impact, lease revenue, land purchase) are in capex_note. Status reflects the most recent dated source listed. Coordinates: Nominatim (OpenStreetMap) municipality or county centroid unless site coordinates are available from a linked atlas facility (location precision='site'). facility links link to the atlas data only when the same operator's facility with a matching name lies at the site.
