Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.
Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.

Underlying source
Source notes
715,000 sq ft campus at High Plains Business Park, Meta's 25th global data center. Originally Project Cosmo. Optimized for AI workloads with new H-departed design. Expected operational 2027. Coordinates approximate for High Plains Business Park in SE Cheyenne. As of July 2026, the energy notes do not include an on-site nuclear claim (the Meta-TerraPower PPA is portfolio-wide grid delivery, not an on-site Cheyenne plant) or an unverified $1.2B solar claim. As of October 2026, Enbridge's May 2026 announcement states that Enbridge expects to invest approximately US$1.2 billion in the first phase of its Cowboy Project near Cheyenne (365 MW of solar generation and a 200MW/1600MWh battery energy storage system) to support Meta's data center operations; Industrial Info Resources (May 2026) says the facility will support Meta's Project Cosmo and puts the first phase's estimated total investment value at around $650 million. Cheyenne LEADS is the source for the 1,000 construction jobs figure.
Served under Black Hills Energy Large Power Contract Service tariff with customized renewable procurement. Meta and Black Hills Energy partnered to add new renewable resources to the Wyoming grid. Note: Meta signed a separate January 2026 portfolio-wide PPA with TerraPower for up to 8 remote Natrium reactors (power delivery via grid, not at the Cheyenne site); no on-site nuclear generation planned at this location per cited sources.
