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.

Reported lifecycle history

  1. Under construction

    Meta publicly confirms Prometheus at New Albany; described as world's first planned 1 GW data center; expected operational 2026. Baxtel (July 2026) reports some phases already operational with future phases planned — overall 1 GW build-out still under construction.

    Underlying source

Source notes

Baxtel reports campus as partially operational in 2026 with future phases planned; overall 1 GW build-out still in progress. Site address 1500 Beech Rd NW cited in permit filings but, as of August 2026, not confirmed from independently accessible sources. Nuclear PPA claims partially corroborated (Vistra/Oklo via SEC filings and news; TerraPower unconfirmed). As of October 2026, on-site generation capacity is not recorded. County listed as Licking, consistent with the stopohiodatacenters.org Licking County report, which lists Meta as operational in Licking County; as of October 2026 no page consulted confirms where the Licking/Franklin county line falls along Beech Road, and the map pin is approximate. OPSB approved a 250 MW behind-the-meter gas plant ("Socrates the Younger," Will-Power OH, LLC) on 109 acres at Clover Valley Rd & Harrison Rd NW, New Albany, with the primary consumer named as Sidecat LLC, a Meta affiliate. This is the plant's nameplate generation, not IT load; the record's planned capacity (1,000 MW) is unchanged. Farm and Dairy reports that Socrates North and Socrates South, both 200 MW power plants, are under construction and will also provide power for data centers for Sidecat LLC. Spectrum News 1 (November 2025) quotes New Albany's mayor saying Meta is building two gas-fired power plants right on its facility, without naming them or giving megawatts. As of October 2026, no source found states which plants or how many megawatts serve this campus, so no on-site generation figure is recorded.

Nuclear PPAs with Vistra (Ohio nuclear plants) and Oklo (1.2 GW Pike County campus) reported and partially corroborated by SEC filings and news; TerraPower PPA referenced in NBC4i (which could not be accessed as of July 2026) but, as of July 2026, not found in any independently accessible source — treat as unconfirmed. On-site gas generation mentioned in state permit filings per the record notes; the 200 MW figure and 20-acre power yard were not independently confirmed from accessible public sources as of July 2026 and were removed from this record. As of October 2026, Williams' project page gives 200 MW and approximately 20 acres for each of its Socrates North and Socrates South plants, but no source found names which plants, or what megawatt total, serve this campus.
