Provider notes
Energy. Meta matches 100% of electricity use with renewable energy across all data centers
Water. Existing campus buildings withdraw approximately 26.7 million gallons per year (0.073 MGD) for cooling; campus features water-efficient technologies. Water figure is for current operational buildings, not the full planned campus.
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.
- Provider community note: The community note names a private resident quoted in local press, so the note is held out of the public page.
What the source record says
Campus spans Papillion and Springfield, Sarpy County. Existing multi-building campus operational since 2019; ongoing expansion toward a 9-building, 4-million-sq-ft footprint. Meta has invested more than $1.5B at this site since 2017 (confirmed by DCD and multiple sources; a $2.5B total figure appeared in the record but was not supported by any cited source). Planned MW capacity of 2,000 was removed — no source confirms a MW figure for this campus. Springfield buildings were targeted for completion by end 2024; operational status of those buildings as of mid-2026 should be verified against a current source. Coordinates approximate for the Springfield expansion area; original Papillion buildings are slightly northeast.
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.
