Microsoft Wisconsin AI Data Center

planned

Microsoft is building what it calls the world's most powerful AI data center in Wisconsin, which will be 10 times more powerful than today's fastest supercomputer. The data center will feature hundreds of thousands of Nvidia GPUs connected by extensive fiber optics and will focus on sustainability with 90% cooling via recirculated liquid and zero operational water waste. The project includes a vast 250MW solar project to support the facility. The first facility is expected to be operational by early 2026 with an initial investment of $3.3 billion, and a second facility will open within three years with an additional $4 billion investment. The site spans 315 acres and is part of a network of over 400 Microsoft data centers in 70 regions.
