Sources: company announcements, operator press releases, government and state filings, and reporting from Data Center Dynamics, Data Center Frontier, Reuters, BloombergNEF, SemiAnalysis and Epoch AI, as of September 2026. Capacities mix operational, under-construction and announced figures and are frequently self-reported; treat them as programme targets rather than energised capacity.

How to read this list. Operational means energised and serving; Under construction means ground is broken; Planned or Announced means capacity is committed but not yet built. Where an operator has not published a figure, capacity shows as n/d rather than an estimate.
