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.

Source notes
960,000 sq ft campus (Meta's 15th US data center). Originally Project Peregrine. Construction paused December 2022, restarted October 2023 with AI-optimized architecture; new design 31% cheaper and half the build time. Peak construction employed 1,400 workers. Expected operational end of 2026. Water infrastructure cost sourced to CEG ($70M) but Idaho Business Review cites $100M — discrepancy unresolved; use CEG figure as primary. Coordinates are Kuna city centroid; exact site is west of city center. As of December 2025, the campus was in the "final stages" of construction; local reporting notes power demand will not be clear until the site comes online.
100% renewable energy committed; Meta adding 200 MW of renewable energy to Idaho grid as part of project
