A campus counts once, however many buildings it has. Announced is not built, and each page says which stage the sources show.

Which projects are really moving
A press release is not a building. Each project page also shows the public records that only a real site produces, each linked to the agency's own file.
- 40 projects with crane or tall-structure filings at the FAA, which builders must file before steel goes up.
- 41 projects with EPA construction stormwater coverage, needed before a site of an acre or more is graded.
- 26 projects with an EPA air permit for backup generators or turbines.
FAA files read to November 6, 2026. EPA files dated November 8, 2026.

How Spezia tracks data centers
From the sources
Company announcements and filings, utility and regulator filings, county records and the trade press, read again every week. Every fact on a page links to where it came from.
From announcement to operation
Each project carries its stage: announced, approved, under construction, operating, or blocked. The page says when it was last reported and how many sources back it.
Checked against public records
FAA crane filings and EPA air and stormwater permits are matched to projects that they name, or whose owner or builder they name, and linked to the agency's record.
Get the projects that moved, every Tuesday
Free. New projects, stage changes, contract awards, power deals and local opposition across the U.S., each with its source, plus the projects that moved on Spezia's tracker. One click to unsubscribe.
Questions about U.S. data centers
How many data center projects are in the U.S.?
Spezia tracks 1,047 data center projects in 43 states: 290 under construction, 118 approved, 343 announced, 91 operating, 27 blocked or paused, 178 with no stated status. A campus counts once, however many buildings it has, and only projects found in public sources are counted.

Texas, with 187 tracked projects, 84 of them approved or under construction. Ohio is next with 60.
How many data centers are under construction?
290 tracked projects are under construction and 118 more are approved. 223 of those 408 state a size, adding up to 204.6 GW.
What is the largest data center under construction?
By the size its sources state, Creekstone Energy Delta Gigasite in Delta, Utah, at 10 GW.
What is the largest operating data center Spezia tracks?
By stated size, Sweetwater campus in Sweetwater, Texas, at 2 GW.
How do you know a project is really being built?
From public records as well as reports. 40 projects have crane or tall-structure filings with the FAA, 41 construction stormwater coverage with the EPA, and 26 an EPA air permit for generators or turbines. Each links to the agency's own record.
Why do other trackers count more data centers?
Some count every building, and some count every server room in the country. Spezia counts large projects and campuses that public sources name, from announcement to operation, and links each fact to its source.
What does a member see beyond these pages?
The builders, trade contractors, equipment suppliers, tenants and lenders named on each project, who is paying whom, what each trade is likely buying now, contacts, video and satellite readings of the site, and an alert when a project you watch moves.
