Data centers
The largest US data center campuses: who owns them, how much power they draw now and plan to, and where that power comes from. Every mapped site is also on the Grid map (turn on Data centers), next to plants, queues and load growth.
What it takes to build one: power, equipment, money, time, permits →

Large-load queues
How much big new load, mostly data centers, is asking grid operators to connect. Each operator counts this differently, so the figures below say exactly what they measure and shouldn't be added together.

Requests grew from 410 GW (Mar 26, 2026) to 438 GW. Approvals went from 8.9 GW to 9.5 GW since Jun 30, 2026. Since Aug 3, 2026 ERCOT has paused energizing new data center and crypto loads of 75 MW or more while it verifies Batch Zero; its report is due Dec 10, 2026.
