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.

Beaver Dam Common Council voted 11-3 to authorize a development agreement and the sale of slightly more than 14 acres of city land near Highway 151 and Hemlock Road for $407,340; construction set to begin summer 2026 with the facility online in 2028.

Source notes
A 90,000-square-foot single-story regional edge data center — a separate, much smaller project from Meta's ~700,000-square-foot Beaver Dam campus already tracked. Council deliberations raised water use, utility rates and tax-fairness concerns. Coordinates are a municipality-level locator; the site is at Highway 151 and Hemlock Road.
Alliant Energy sent the developer a letter listing what is needed for electric service, with an engineering review to follow a formal application. The developer projects under 20 MW at full build-out.
