Source notes
Reported as the first Meta facilities explicitly dedicated to AI/ML workloads. Existing campus is 750 acres. IRBs authorize tax-exempt bond financing for construction materials — the $7.5B per series is the authorized principal ceiling, not a direct cash subsidy. Meta required to invest $350M into expansion by year 10 under agreement. Operating entity: Greater Kudu LLC.
Meta has invested in 885MW+ of renewable energy capacity in NM; PNM seeking regulatory approval for three additional solar+storage projects (Star Light, Windy Lane, Four Mile) to serve Phase 3 power demand
