Top Planned Data Center Deployments
Below are the most consequential planned or under-development hyperscale/AI data-center projects we’re tracking. Rankings reflect a mix of announced campus MW, compute scale (GW-class), and strategic significance. Dates, designs, and capacities evolve; treat these as live program entries you’ll update as filings land.
