AI Data Center Power Tracker

Education only · Figures as of Nov. 6, 2026

The race to build AI is now a race for electricity. This tracker lists the largest AI data centers by the power their computers can draw today and the power they are being built to reach, using independent estimates from Epoch AI.

3,916 MWIT power running today across the five largest operating sites

1,037 MWLargest single operating site: Anthropic-Amazon New Carlisle, Indiana

2,263 MWLargest planned site: Microsoft Fairwater Wisconsin, targeted for 2028

Stargate, site by site

OpenAI’s Stargate program spreads across seven announced U.S. sites. Only Abilene was running as of Epoch’s April 2026 review. These figures are estimated total facility power, so they run higher than the IT power figures above.

Site	Builder and hardware owner	Planned power	Running (Apr. 2026)	Status
Abilene, Texas	Crusoe; Oracle owns hardware	1.2 GW	0.3 GW	About four of eight buildings running; finish expected Q4 2026
Shackelford County, Texas	Vantage; Oracle owns hardware	2 GW	0	Construction since Q3 2025; finish expected Q4 2028
Doña Ana County, New Mexico	STACK Infrastructure (Project Jupiter); Oracle owns hardware	2.2 GW	0	Construction since Q4 2025; finish expected Q4 2028
Milam County, Texas	SB Energy (SoftBank); SoftBank owns hardware	1.2 GW	0	Construction since Q3 2025; finish expected Q4 2028
Port Washington, Wisconsin	Vantage (Lighthouse campus); Oracle owns hardware	1.3 GW	0	Construction since Q1 2026; finish expected Q4 2028
Saline Township, Michigan	Related Digital (The Barn); Oracle owns hardware	1.4 GW	0	Construction since Q4 2025; finish expected Q4 2028
Lordstown, Ohio	SoftBank and Foxconn; SoftBank owns hardware	Under 0.3 GW	0	Land cleared, no large-scale construction seen; date unknown

How to read these numbers

A megawatt is a rate, not a total. It measures how much power a site can draw at once. A 1,000 MW site running all day uses 24,000 megawatt-hours.

“Planned” is not “powered.” A site can finish its buildings and still wait on substations, transmission lines or turbines. That gap between a building being finished and a building being powered is where many AI timelines slip.

Estimates move. Epoch revises figures as new satellite imagery and filings appear. Check the source links for the latest numbers.

Common questions

What does a megawatt of IT power mean?

IT power is the electricity the computers themselves can draw: the chips, servers and networking gear. The whole facility draws more, because cooling and power conversion use energy too.

Why is power the bottleneck for AI?

Training and running large AI models takes huge clusters of chips that run around the clock. A site can only grow as fast as utilities, transmission lines and on-site generation can deliver electricity, and new grid connections can take years.

Where do these numbers come from?

From Epoch AI, an independent research group that estimates data center capacity from public records and high-resolution satellite imagery. Epoch says about 80% of its estimates fall within a factor of 1.4 of the true value, so treat them as informed estimates, not official figures.
