Planned figure is Meta’s 5 GW target, which the tracker says lacks concrete evidence at this site alone; it models ≈1.6 GW IT and first power in 2028.
Power figures are IT load where trackers publish it and campus power where only the operator’s headline exists; each source below names its basis. A figure marked est rests on at least one source other than the operator’s own announcement.
