Full list of known and upcoming Facebook datacenters as of May 2026.
Dan Saltman- Meta operates or is building 32 data centers worldwide as of April 2026, with 28 in the United States and 4 in Europe and Asia.
- Almost every data center announced since 2024 is explicitly described by Meta as “AI-optimized,” signaling a fundamental shift in what the infrastructure is for.
- Two new mega-campuses, Hyperion in Louisiana and Prometheus in Ohio, will be the largest AI training facilities ever built, with Hyperion eventually scaling to 5 gigawatts of compute capacity.
- Meta’s full regional power buildout tied to Hyperion, including new gas generation, transmission lines, battery storage, and related infrastructure, has been reported at approximately $27 billion.
- The training data for Meta’s AI models includes public Facebook and Instagram content, public posts and replies, and information users share directly with Meta AI features.
- US users have no formal opt-out from AI training, making bulk deletion of historical content one of the most direct ways to limit exposure.
When Mark Zuckerberg recently described one of Meta’s new data center projects as large enough to “cover a significant part of Manhattan,” he was not talking about office space. He was talking about Hyperion, an AI training facility under construction in rural Louisiana that will eventually scale toward 5 gigawatts of power demand. That is roughly enough electricity to run five million homes. To make Hyperion happen, Meta is tied to a massive Entergy Louisiana power buildout that includes new gas generation, high-voltage transmission lines, battery storage, and related infrastructure, bringing the total regional power plan to around $27 billion.
Hyperion is just one of 32 Meta data centers operating or under construction worldwide as of April 2026, according to Meta’s own announcement of its Tulsa, Oklahoma facility. The newer ones share a common purpose, and it is one that connects directly to the data you have shared on Meta’s platforms over the years.
How Did Meta’s Data Center Strategy Change with AI?
Meta’s first owned data center opened in Prineville, Oregon in 2011. For the next decade, the company built data centers the way every other social media platform did. Prineville, Forest City, Altoona, and the early international sites in Sweden and Ireland were designed to handle storage and compute capacity for billions of feed scrolls, photo uploads, and direct messages. They were big, but they were not unprecedented in the industry.
What is happening now is different. Almost every Meta data center announced in the last 18 months is described in Meta’s own press releases as “AI-optimized.” The company is no longer just expanding to keep up with user growth. It is racing to build computational capacity at a scale that has never existed before, and it is doing this specifically to train large language models like Llama, the foundation of Meta’s AI assistants and the technology Meta intends to embed across every product it operates. Meta initially projected 2026 capital expenditures between $115 billion and $135 billion, then later raised that range to roughly $125 billion to $145 billion as AI infrastructure spending accelerated.
The training data for these models includes a major source: public user-generated content. As previously documented by Redact, Meta has acknowledged scraping public Facebook and Instagram posts since 2007 for AI training purposes. The scale of the new data centers reflects how much computational power the company expects to need to process and learn from that data.
What Are Hyperion and Prometheus, Meta’s New AI Mega-Campuses?
Two of Meta’s current builds are categorically different from anything else in the company’s history. They are the showpieces of Meta’s AI infrastructure strategy, and both are being built in the United States.
Hyperion in Richland Parish, Louisiana, will be Meta’s largest data center ever. The campus spans 4 million square feet across roughly 3,650 acres of former farmland in the northeastern corner of the state, after Meta expanded the original 2,250-acre footprint by another 1,400 acres in February 2026. The first phase opens in 2028, with 2 gigawatts of compute capacity targeted by 2030 and an eventual scale of 5 gigawatts. Direct investment is over $10 billion, but counting the regional power infrastructure Meta is funding through Entergy, the full bill approaches $27 billion. Hyperion was originally codenamed “Project Sucre,” and Meta kept the company’s involvement secret from local residents during the early permitting process. According to an investigation by Sherwood News, the lack of transparency means residents had little information to evaluate the project before it was approved.
Prometheus in New Albany, Ohio, will be the world’s first gigawatt-scale data center when it comes online in 2026. The campus spans multiple buildings on Meta’s existing New Albany site and is designed specifically for AI training workloads using “rapid deployment” tent structures for cooling. To power Prometheus and its successors, Meta has signed three nuclear power deals with TerraPower, Oklo, and Vistra, totaling 6.6 gigawatts of clean energy by 2035.
Together, these two sites alone represent over $20 billion in direct investment and will consume more electricity than several US states.

How Much Power and Water Do Meta’s Data Centers Consume?
Hyperion’s 5-gigawatt eventual capacity is not just an engineering specification, it is a political event. Entergy’s power plan for Meta’s Richland Parish buildout has expanded over time, with earlier approvals covering initial generation and transmission work and later plans adding additional natural gas units, hundreds of miles of transmission, battery storage, and related infrastructure. As Engineering News-Record reported, if Meta walks away from Hyperion before the supporting power infrastructure reaches the end of its useful life, some costs could be passed on to ordinary Louisiana ratepayers. This possibility is not theoretical: in 2025, Meta restructured ownership of the campus in a deal with Blue Owl Capital that allows the company to exit its lease every four years.
Water is the other contested resource. Meta has pledged that several of its newer facilities, including Beaver Dam in Wisconsin, will use closed-loop or dry cooling systems that need essentially no water during normal operations. The company also publicly commits to “water positive” operations by 2030, meaning restoring more water to local watersheds than the data centers consume. Independent verification of these claims is limited, and water use at older facilities like Odense, which withdraws over 110 million gallons annually, remains substantial.
What Privacy Risks Do Meta’s AI Data Centers Create for You?
The infrastructure described above exists for one core purpose: to process, store, and increasingly train AI on the data Meta collects across its platforms. Public Facebook posts, public Instagram captions, public comments, Threads replies, and interactions with Meta AI can become part of the broader data environment Meta uses to improve and train AI systems. Private messages, encrypted chats, and WhatsApp content should be treated separately, since Meta’s public statements draw a distinction between public content and private communications.
Meta’s terms of service have for years allowed the company to use public posts to improve its services. The newer AI policies make clear that public user-generated content and interactions with AI features can be used to improve and train AI models. The Hyperion buildout is Meta putting tens of billions of dollars behind that intention. The infrastructure is not speculative. It is being built. Public user data is one of the inputs that fills it.
The privacy concern is compounded by another recent shift at Meta. Meta is discontinuing support for Instagram’s optional end-to-end encrypted chats after May 8, 2026. While the stated reason is content moderation and legal compliance, the change could reduce the availability of encrypted messaging inside Instagram. It should not be framed as proof that all Instagram direct messages will be used for AI training.
How to Limit Meta’s Use of Your Data for AI Training
Your options depend significantly on where you live. The rights available to users in the European Union and the United Kingdom are considerably stronger than those available to users in the United States and most other countries.
If you are in the EU or UK: Under GDPR, you have a formal right to object to Meta processing your data for AI training. To exercise this, log into Facebook or Instagram, go to Settings, then Privacy Center, and look for the section titled “How Meta uses information for generative AI models and features.” Click “Right to object” and complete the form. An opt-out covers your own content but does not cover photos or posts that other users have shared featuring you.
If you are in the US: There is currently no equivalent opt-out mechanism. Meta does not offer a setting that prevents American users’ public posts from being used as AI training data. The most effective steps available to US users are setting accounts to private, limiting what they share publicly, and deleting content they would not want to contribute to a training dataset.
For users who want to go further than adjusting settings, the most direct action available is to reduce the amount of personal content that exists on Meta’s platforms in the first place. Opting out only limits future use. Content already harvested may already be embedded in existing training datasets running on these data centers. Removing old posts, photos, and profile information limits both current and future exposure. Tools like Redact make this process manageable at scale, allowing you to bulk delete content across more than 25 platforms without doing it manually, post by post.

↑ Back to list
Hyperion (Richland Parish, Louisiana)
The largest data center Meta has ever built. Up to 5 GW of AI compute.
Hyperion will be Meta’s largest data center ever when complete. The campus spans 4 million square feet across roughly 3,650 acres of former farmland in Richland Parish, in the northeast corner of Louisiana. Mark Zuckerberg has compared the footprint of one of the new clusters at the site to a “significant part of Manhattan.” Construction began at the end of 2024, with the first phase expected to open in 2028. Initial capacity is 2 GW by 2030, scaling toward 5 GW over time. The total regional buildout, including seven new natural gas power plants and 240 miles of high-voltage transmission lines built through Entergy Louisiana, brings the project bill to approximately $27 billion. The site was originally codenamed “Project Sucre,” with Meta’s involvement kept secret from local residents during early permitting. In 2025, Meta restructured campus ownership through a deal with private equity firm Blue Owl Capital, converting the company into a tenant with the option to exit its lease every four years. Hyperion’s purpose is to train future generations of Meta’s AI models, including Llama and the work of Meta Superintelligence Labs.
