Regarding Data Centers

The data center buildout, on the record.

Thousands of data center projects are moving through permitting, hearings and construction right now. We put them on one globe and one feed — site, operator, status, capacity — and every capacity figure we publish names the document it came from.

The map is free — it just needs an account. The feed is part of a subscription.

§ Two instruments / one dataset 01
Datacenter Portal

Every mapped site, on a globe

6,000+ data center sites across 40+ countries, placed on an interactive 3D globe with the operator, status and capacity we hold for each one.

What changed, newest first

Permits filed and approved, planning hearings, public notices, construction starts, capacity changes, expansions, stalls and cancellations — read as one stream rather than one jurisdiction at a time.

§ What gets tracked / the vocabulary 05

Project events

A project's life is recorded as discrete, dated events. These are the ones we recognise:

  • Permits filed
  • Permits approved
  • Planning hearings
  • Public notices
  • Construction starts
  • Capacity changes
  • Expansions
  • Stalls
  • Cancellations

Project status

Three states, applied consistently, so a site's stage is comparable across every jurisdiction we cover:

  • Operational
  • In development
  • Proposed

Where

40+ countries and all 50 US states. Over 700 US counties hold a tracked project, and 300+ of them have a wired local feed — a number we grow county by county rather than claiming the whole country at once.

§ The evidence trail / document to data point 06
  1. 01

    Snapshot

    When a document surfaces — a permit filing, a hearing notice, a regulatory action — we take our own snapshot of it. The record stops depending on somebody else's page staying online.

  2. 02

    Extraction

    Capacity, cost and footprint figures are lifted out of that document as structured facts, each one carrying a pointer back to the page it was read from.

  3. 03

    Linkage

    Facts attach to the project, site and operator they describe. Records that turn out to be the same campus under two names are merged into one, so a single build never inflates the count twice.

  4. 04

    Attribution

    23,900+ capacity, cost and footprint facts are recorded against the document they were read from, and every figure we publish is labelled reported, permitted or estimated — the claim we would rather be measured on than any other.
