Provider notes
Energy. Meta partnered with SRP and Ørsted for a portfolio of solar-plus-battery projects to reach 100% renewable for the Mesa data center: majority offtake of the 300 MW Eleven Mile Solar Center (Pinal County), a 50 MW allocation from the 100 MW West Line Solar Facility (Eloy).
Water. Meta has not named the cooling technology for Mesa. Its community development manager for the campus said that 'for more than half the year we can take air from outside to help cool our servers in lieu of continual water use', and that water is recycled several times before discharge to the municipality. The City of Mesa Sustainable Water Service Agreement provides a Water Allowance rising from 550 acre-feet/year at Phase 1 to 1,400 acre-feet/year at Phase 3. Meta's fleet-wide description of newer direct-to-chip closed-loop designs does not apply to this site, which broke ground in 2021.
What the source record says
Meta data center at 3841 S Ellsworth Rd in the Elliot Road Technology Corridor, Mesa, Maricopa County — land acquired 2021 (shell entity 'Redale LLC'), came online in 2025, and was redesigned for AI workloads during construction (baxtel). Meta states 'more than $1 billion' invested in Arizona. No site-specific IT-load MW is disclosed. Coordinates are an approximate geocode of the disclosed Ellsworth Rd 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.

Compute Atlas 1.34.1 with retained prior rows and publication holds. This is a DataCenterData composite, not an unmodified publisher edition. This row uses the captured source from 1.34.1, source as of 2026-10-14T20:40:52.293Z.
That does not mean the row is wrong, and it does not mean no reviewed record exists for the same place. A link is added only when an identifier or source establishes the match.
