Planned AI data centers
| Project | Owner | Planned MW | 2025 CapEx estimate | Milestone | Evidence status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Colossus 25420 Tulane Rd, Memphis, TN 38109 | SpaceXAI | 2.1K MW | $58B | Feb 25, 2027 | 60% confidenceEvidence noteBuilding 3 is estimated to be completed. The site is predicted to have enough power infrastructure installed for a total of 1.5 GW of IT Power. Based on building plans we predict the addition of three more cooling arrays similar to the 6x24 dry coolers near Building 1 and 2. With the completion of current cooling structures and the addition of these arrays there will be ~540MW more cooling capacity for a full facility total of ~1390MW. If this cooling capacity is supplemented by mobile coolers, there would be enough cooling and power infrastructure to support 1.5 GW of IT power. |
