Description | Meta Platforms Inc. plans to invest $50 billion in a data center named 'Hyperion' located in rural Louisiana. The center is part of Meta's expansion to enhance data storage and processing capabilities, supporting its AI initiatives. It will be powered by three natural gas power plants with a combined capacity of 2.25 gigawatts, approved by state regulators, and expected to be operational in 2028 and 2029. Meta aims to eventually draw 5 gigawatts of power as the center expands. The project has sparked controversy due to concerns about energy sources and costs to ratepayers. |
