Planned AI data centers
| Project | Owner | Planned MW | 2025 CapEx estimate | Milestone | Evidence status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CoreWeave Chester VA1401 Meadowville Technology Parkway, Chester, VA | CoreWeave | 197 MW | $4.3B | Jun 30, 2027 | 60% confidenceEvidence noteBuildings 3 is estimated complete by the end of Q1 2027, based on the current PowerHouse schedule. Added another three months to account for commissioning and server installation. |
| QTS Richmond 33525–3543 Portugee Rd, Sandston, VA 23150 | Undisclosed | 336 MW | $9.1B | Feb 13, 2027 | 60% confidenceEvidence noteBuilding 4 and 5 are operational, based on Building 5 being roughly 1 year behind Building 1 in satellite imagery. |
| STACK Infrastructure NVA029590 Hornbaker Rd, Manassas, VA 20109 | Undisclosed | 487 MW | $13.2B | Jan 1, 2028 | 60% confidenceEvidence noteEstimate: All 6 AI data center buildings will be finished in 2028, assuming a groundbreak-to-operational timeline of 18-24 months. One is complete, three are clearly under construction, and the last two data centers are still breaking ground and laying foundations. |
Planned capacity is estimated, not metered utility load. Planned does not mean permitted, financed, constructed, or energized. Open each project and methodology before using these figures.
