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).

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.

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 12 September 2026. Individual records and claims below show their own evidence dates and may be newer.

Next scheduled coverage review: 12 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 — Checked
    • The office's full incentive award list was not enumerated, so other Utah data center awards were not found.
    • Utah's sales and use tax treatment of data center equipment and any certification list were not researched.
    • EDCUtah project records were not searched.

    Selected records

  • Utility commission and large-load records — Partly checked
    • No filing inside Docket 26-035-05 was opened, so the customer, the load and the site are unknown.
    • Docket 25-R318-01 on large-scale electric service requirements and PacifiCorp's integrated resource plan load forecasts were not read.
    • Municipal utilities (for example Provo and Murray) were not checked.

    Selected records

  • Environmental and construction permits — Checked
    • The Division of Air Quality permitting site was reached only through individual document links found in search results; no systematic keyword search of the permit database was run, so other data center permit actions were not enumerated.
    • The federal environmental assessment for the NSA Utah Data Center campus expansion could not be retrieved during review.
    • Water rights, drinking water, water quality discharge and county building permits were not searched.

    Selected records

  • Local planning, assessor and map records — Partly checked
    • No city council or county commission minutes, agenda or resolution was opened anywhere in Utah.
    • The QTS development agreement and its February 2025 first amendment, which reporting says allows on-site generation, were not retrieved from the city recorder.
    • No assessor or GIS parcel record was queried, so no Utah research lead has a parcel identifier.
    • Iron, Millard, Box Elder, Tooele and Duchesne county land-use files were not yet reviewed directly.

    Selected records

  • Tax abatements and development agreements — Partly checked
    • The MIDA resolution and the Box Elder County interlocal agreement documents themselves were not retrieved.
    • No Utah tax increment, PILOT or development agreement was obtained for any other site.
    • The QTS Eagle Mountain development agreement was not retrieved.

    Selected records

  • Operator disclosures — Checked
    • Meta, Google, Oracle, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services and Apple disclosures were not checked for Utah sites.
    • Aligned, DataBank, Flexential, Novva and Cirrus Data Services location pages were not yet reviewed directly.

    Selected records

  • Open datasets and directories — Checked
    • Thirty-two Compute Atlas Utah records were not examined individually and are not research leads, including most Flexential, Lumen, FiberState, Senawave, Syringa, Voonami, Fibernet, ValorC3, Unisys, Newfold, Regence and Cirrus Data Services entries and the Salt Lake City colocation cluster generally.
    • Compute Atlas power-generation records (Intermountain Power Project, Holtec Brigham City, Valar Atomics, Wells Draw Energy, Williams Aquila on the Stadion parcel) were deliberately not made research leads and their relationship to the data center sites was not resolved.
    • No commercial directory was consulted.

    Selected records

  • Closures, withdrawals and former names — Partly checked
    • No archived operator page, rename or acquisition record was checked for Utah colocation sites.
    • Any denied county conditional use permits were not searched for.
  • News and other discovery — Partly checked
    • Utah News Dispatch, Deseret News and KSL coverage of the Stratos and Millard County projects was not yet reviewed directly.

    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 Bluffdale, Burmester, Cedar City, Cottonwood Heights, Delta, Draper, Fairfield, Orem, Salt Lake City, West Jordan, West Valley City. Their listings above are source listings to investigate. No statewide evidence answer is published for Utah either; statewide rules are under Policy tracker below.

1 Utah answer is not tied to a published record, so it is not placed here: Utah answers.

Federal and multistate instruments that cover all or part of Utah

These federal, reliability-organization and multistate grid or utility instruments are stored once and listed for every jurisdiction they name. They do not add to the record count, in-effect total or map shading for Utah. Territorial coverage does not establish that an instrument applies to any particular site, utility or project.

Review dates: the 8 Utah records were last checked 23 September 2026 to 3 November 2026. 2 scheduled reviews are overdue as of the tracker date 3 November 2026: Executive Order 2026-03: data center framework for state agencies (last checked 1 October 2026, review due 31 October 2026); Water-use reporting for new large data centers (H.B. 76) (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.
