US data center database
The FieldProspects data center database lists 3,671 planned, under-construction, operating and canceled data centers. The 3,130 active ones that state a power load add up to 453.5 GW. Amazon has the most active sites, with 751. Figures are as of October 2026.
Data as of
What the data center table contains
Each row is one data center site. Status is planned (1,807), under construction (477), operating (1,319) or canceled (45), and 23 rows state no status. Active means any status except canceled, which leaves 3,626 sites in 45 states. Virginia has the most, with 853.
Power load in megawatts is the headline field. 86.3% of active sites state one, and the stated loads add up to 453.5 GW. That total under-counts, because a site that discloses no load adds nothing. Planned sites state 344.4 GW, under-construction sites 47 GW and operating sites 62.2 GW.
The other fields are thinner. Across all 3,671 rows, building square footage is present for 81%, operating year for 69.9%, land acreage for 19.5% and capital expenditure for 7.2%. A company is named for 99.1% of active sites, spread across 468 companies.
Data centers by status
| Status | Data centers | Stated power load |
|---|---|---|
| Planned | 1,807 | 344.4 GW |
| Under Construction | 477 | 47 GW |
| Operating | 1,319 | 62.2 GW |
| Canceled | 45 | 8.9 GW |
| Status not stated | 23 | None |
Canceled sites are kept in the table and left out of every active total on this page.
Where the data centers are
| State | Data centers | Stated power load |
|---|---|---|
| Virginia | 853 | 58.5 GW |
| Texas | 535 | 105.3 GW |
| Ohio | 246 | 29.2 GW |
| Georgia | 180 | 19.4 GW |
| Indiana | 155 | 16.9 GW |
| Arizona | 155 | 16.5 GW |
| Pennsylvania | 150 | 18.5 GW |
| Oregon | 138 | 8.2 GW |
| Illinois | 112 | 11.3 GW |
| Iowa | 92 | 7.6 GW |
The load column adds up the sites in each state that state a load, so a state with many undisclosed sites reads low.

What is a data center in this table?
A data center is a facility or campus recorded once per site and compiled from public announcements, permits and company filings. Its power load is the capacity in megawatts disclosed in those sources, and the field is left empty when none is disclosed.
What approved accounts can see
The full table puts planned and operating campuses, with load, acreage, footprint and capex, next to the generation that could serve them. Accounts are approved by hand, and the seven-day trial covers all five tables with an export of up to 250 rows.
