Map sources and method

The state outline is adapted from the U.S. Census Bureau 2025 cartographic boundary file. Facility coordinates are adapted from Compute Atlas by Edward Kubiak, edition 1.34.1, under CC BY 4.0. Outline and markers use one geographic projection before any explicitly disclosed readability offset. Exact singleton source anchors are never moved. A one-kilometre boundary tolerance prevents the simplified 1:20,000,000 outline from hiding legitimate border-area source points; farther conflicts are disclosed, not clamped. DataCenterData groups source-reported city coordinates only within a bounded map radius; the outline does not validate a facility record. Some locations in this layer are reported by the provider as derived from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL, https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright) and Epoch AI (CC BY 4.0).

Also listed by operators

Sites that operators list on their own websites and that are not rows in the licensed directory above. They are kept apart and never added to the licensed rows.

4 of these sites have no supported coordinate. The map does not invent a pin or a metro placement for them.

Where the records were checked

Statewide audit pending

A few checked sites

This is not a list of every data center in the state, and the number here is not a count of them. There are almost certainly more.

Statewide coverage is not complete. The records below are sourced; a full statewide count has not been published.

State research audit window ended 14 September 2026. Individual records and claims below show their own evidence dates and may be newer.

Next scheduled coverage review: 13 March 2027.

1 independently source-linked project/campus record; 0 independently source-linked facility/building records; 0 attributed or unresolved rows. These counts use different units and must not be added together.

Source families checked, selected records and remaining gaps

These notes name selected records, say which kinds of public evidence were checked and show what remains missing. They do not add anything to the published counts.

  • Economic development incentives — Partly checked
    • commerce.alaska.gov could not be retrieved during review, so state incentive and tax credit programs were not reviewed.
    • Alaska Legislature bill tracking was not searched for data center legislation.
    • No AIDEA board packet or meeting minute was opened.

    Selected records

  • Utility commission and large-load records — Partly checked
    • rca.alaska.gov could not be retrieved during review; no docket, order or tariff was searched.
    • Golden Valley Electric Association, Chugach Electric and Matanuska Electric large-load or cryptocurrency-mining tariffs were not examined.
    • No utility integrated resource plan or load forecast was read.
  • Environmental and construction permits — Partly checked
    • dec.alaska.gov could not be retrieved during review, so no air permit list or search was reached.
    • The public-notice keyword search remained unreliable; the STAK land records were reopened later by exact notice and attachment IDs.
    • No wastewater, stormwater or gravel-extraction permit search was run for the North Slope site.

    Selected records

  • Local planning, assessor and map records — Partly checked
    • No borough development permit, zoning case or assembly ordinance was retrieved.
    • The borough GIS portal (gis-public.north-slope.org) was not queried for the lease parcel.
    • Anchorage and Fairbanks North Star Borough planning and permit systems were not searched, so urban Alaska data center activity is uncovered.

    Selected records

  • Tax abatements and development agreements — Partly checked
    • No Final Finding and Decision, appeal disposition, entry authorization or perfected lease was retrieved for ADL 422741.
    • No borough property tax abatement or payment-in-lieu arrangement was searched.
    • DNR's broader Land Administration System was not used to establish a later disposition; exact published records were reviewed instead.

    Selected records

  • Operator disclosures — Partly checked
    • Alaska Communications, Alaska Power & Telephone, Quintillion, university and federal computing facilities were not checked.
    • Hyperscaler location pages (Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, Google, Meta, Oracle, Apple) were not checked for Alaska presence.
    • No Anchorage, Fairbanks or Juneau colocation operator page was examined.

    Selected records

  • Open datasets and directories — Checked
    • Directory listings (Data Center Map, Baxtel, datacenters.com, PeeringDB) were not yet reviewed directly for Alaska, so Anchorage and Fairbanks colocation is entirely uncovered.

    Selected records

  • Closures, withdrawals and former names — Partly checked
    • The Alaska Beacon article behind the 715.4-acre figure is blocked by Cloudflare.
    • Northern Journal has moved to Anchorage Press, whose search archive returns no Stak Energy results, so the originating reporting was not read.
    • No sweep for abandoned Alaska cryptocurrency-mining conversions was possible.

    Selected records

  • News and other discovery — Partly checked
    • A broader Alaska news sweep was not completed, so unrelated or later projects may remain undiscovered.

    Selected records

Local evidence by place

Licensed and operator listings, reviewed records, answers and local policy for each place. Listings overlap and are not added; a place without a line here has no published local evidence.

No local evidence answer, reviewed record or local policy record is published for Cordova, Fairbanks, Nikiski. Their listings above are source listings to investigate. No statewide evidence answer is published for Alaska either; statewide rules are under Policy tracker below.

Alaska policy records

2 sourced records are associated with this state context. They are grouped below as current, pending and nonbinding, and history, and each card shows its relevant date. These are not facility counts and do not cover every locality.

Current 1 record

Recorded as in effect on the dataset date. This does not mean every project in a represented state is restricted or approved.

Enacted legislation or regulation · Anchorage only (local rule)

Anchorage: title 21 data center use standards

In effect · Municipality of Anchorage, Alaska · Local

Source document: 23 June 2026

Issuing authority: Municipality of Anchorage

Anchorage's published land-use code chapter 21.05 contains a Data Center use with a definition, small and large size classes, design and landscaping standards, a 200-foot separation from adjacent residential and noise-sensitive uses that the Director may waive only for small data centers, and noise-study and utility-capacity submittals for a conditional use permit.

Legislation introduced (any outcome)

CSSB 250 data center utility-cost and contract bill (passed Senate only)

Proposed · Alaska · State

Last checked: 3 November 2026

Issuing authority: Alaska State Legislature

Alaska Senate Bill 250, in its committee substitute CSSB 250(CRA), would require utilities to assign the costs of serving a data center to that data center, to serve data centers only under Regulatory Commission of Alaska-approved contracts with cost-assignment, backup-power and financial-security terms, and to have a municipal community benefit agreement in place before approval and construction.

Review dates: the 2 Alaska records were last checked 23 September 2026 to 3 November 2026. 1 scheduled review is overdue as of the tracker date 3 November 2026: Anchorage: title 21 data center use standards (last checked 23 September 2026, review due 23 October 2026). Overdue means not re-read yet, not changed. No single record, and not this list, establishes complete statewide policy coverage.
