Meta's $27 Billion Data Center Energy Infrastructure Project

under construction

Meta is underwriting the energy costs of its newest and largest data center in Northeast Louisiana, projected to cost $27 billion and consume up to 5 gigawatts of power, enough to power approximately 1 million homes. Meta has signed an agreement with Entergy Louisiana to privately fund new energy infrastructure throughout the state, including seven new natural gas power plants with a total energy output of 5,200 megawatts, 240 miles of 500-kilovolt transmission lines, and three new battery storage locations to help store excess energy.
