Provider notes
Energy. Facebook/Meta signed a 2015 PPA for the 200 MW Shannon Wind Farm in Clay County, TX (~90 mi from the site) specifically to power the new Fort Worth data center; the project delivers via an Oncor Electric Delivery substation.
These reviews flag conflicting scope, inconsistent source text or support that has not been established. A withheld value may appear in the explanation, but is not displayed as an established field. The upstream row remains attributed under Sources.
- Cooling: Previously held pending provider-field review. The concern has not been resolved by an independent source review for this captured edition; the field remains withheld.
What the source record says
Meta (Facebook) data center at 4500 Like Way, Fort Worth, Tarrant County (near TX-170 and Park Vista Blvd) — broke ground 2015, began serving traffic in 2017, on a ~200-acre campus, heavily expanded since (with an announced AI-driven expansion). DISTINCT from Meta's tracked El Paso, TX campus. No site-specific IT-load MW is disclosed. Coordinates are an approximate geocode of the disclosed Like Way address; a county-parcel pass could upgrade precision to exact.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

Operator’s own listing
What the operator publishes about this site on its own website, matched to this licensed row by DataCenterData. Facts are taken from the operator’s page, shown with a link to it, and not independently verified; no page text is republished and the licensed values above are unchanged. A match does not establish that the listing and this row cover exactly the same building, suite or boundary, or who owns the site.
