Provider notes
Energy. Powered by 100% renewable energy via Xcel Energy; Meta working with partners to add new renewable resources to the grid
Water. A company representative described typical water use for a facility like this as roughly 10 million gallons a year — compared to a car wash, a small apartment building, or a McDonald's. This is an informal comparison quoted in coverage, not a permitted/reported figure, so no reportedMgd value is asserted.
Community. Governor Walz, Dakota County, City of Rosemount, and University of Minnesota all publicly endorsed the project. Meta also buying additional adjacent parcels (via Jimnist LLC) for potential future phases.
What the source record says
Site is 280 acres of UMore Park (former WWII smokeless powder facility, then Univ. of Minnesota agricultural research land) in Rosemount. Meta's 19th US data center. Coordinates approximate for northern UMore Park area. Additional parcels purchased Feb 2025 via Jimnist LLC for potential expansion; no current build plan on those parcels.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
