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).

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 Wyoming Business Council's own certification files and any certificate numbers were not retrieved.
    • Business Ready Community grant awards and Wyoming State Loan and Investment Board records were not searched.
    • Cheyenne LEADS project records were not searched.
    • the current review did not include a broad discovery sweep for Wyoming, so all Wyoming sources were found by following dataset source lists and site navigation rather than by keyword search.

    Selected records

  • Utility commission and large-load records — Partly checked
    • The commission's docket search, e-filings and orders systems were not reached, so no Wyoming large-load docket was found.
    • Black Hills Energy / Cheyenne Light, Fuel and Power and Rocky Mountain Power Wyoming tariff filings were not read.
    • No interconnection or large-load queue record was reached.

    Selected records

  • Environmental and construction permits — Partly checked
    • No Wyoming air quality permit or Industrial Siting Council permit was retrieved for any data center, including the large Cheyenne-area projects that plainly need them.
    • The DEQ document search and public comment portals are script-driven and were not used.
    • Water and county building permits were not searched.

    Selected records

  • Local planning, assessor and map records — Partly checked
    • laramiecountywy.gov and cheyennecity.org could not be reached by direct access, but were readable through an alternate access method and the linked county memo PDF was not retrieved.
    • No county commissioners' agenda or minutes were opened, so the Laramie County approvals reported for the Cheyenne-area campuses are not in evidence.
    • The City of Cheyenne annexation ordinance for the Microsoft land purchase was not retrieved.
    • Uinta, Converse and Natrona county land-use files were not yet reviewed directly.
    • No assessor or GIS parcel record was queried anywhere in Wyoming.

    Selected records

  • Tax abatements and development agreements — Partly checked
    • No Business Ready Community grant agreement or county development agreement was retrieved.
    • Wyoming State Loan and Investment Board and state land board records were not searched.
  • Operator disclosures — Partly checked
    • Meta, Microsoft, Google, Related Digital, Tallgrass, Prometheus Hyperscale and Cogent pages were not yet reviewed directly.
    • the current review did not include a broad discovery sweep before Wyoming, so operator pages were reached only through dataset source lists.

    Selected records

  • Open datasets and directories — Checked
    • Four Compute Atlas Wyoming records were deliberately not made research leads because they are power generation rather than data centers: Tallgrass Cheyenne Power Hub, Seminoe Generating Station, TerraPower Natrium Kemmerer and Enbridge Cowboy Solar and BESS.
    • The relationship between the Tallgrass Cheyenne Power Hub generation record and the Project Tembo data center record, which share a 2,700 MW figure, was not resolved.
    • No commercial directory was consulted.

    Selected records

  • Closures, withdrawals and former names — Partly checked
    • No town, county or court record confirming the Highwire cancellation was read.
    • The Wyoming Hyperscale Whitebox to Prometheus Hyperscale rename was not confirmed from a corporate filing or the Secretary of State.
    • The Project Jade to Project Tembo rename rests on a dataset record id and its cited reporting, neither of which was opened.
  • News and other discovery — Not checked
    • WyoFile, Cowboy State Daily, Wyoming Tribune Eagle, Oil City News and County 17 reporting on the Cheyenne-area projects was not yet reviewed directly.

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 Carpenter, Casper, Evanston, Gillette, Glenrock, Lysite, Sheridan, Wheatland. Their listings above are source listings to investigate. No statewide evidence answer is published for Wyoming either; statewide rules are under Policy tracker below.

Federal and multistate instruments that cover all or part of Wyoming

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 Wyoming. Territorial coverage does not establish that an instrument applies to any particular site, utility or project.

Review dates: the 2 Wyoming records were last checked 23 September 2026. 2 scheduled reviews are overdue as of the tracker date 3 November 2026: Sales tax exemption for data processing services center equipment, Business Ready Community managed data center cost reduction grant (program page) (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.
