Largest Data Centers around the world with over 1GW Capacity Under Construction

This industry roundup profiles over a dozen gigawatt-scale data centers under construction globally, including major facilities in Texas, Virginia, Alabama, Louisiana, the UAE, India, and South Korea developed by Meta, Google, OpenAI, and others. The projects reveal the staggering scale of resources required — each facility consumes power equivalent to a small city, costs $5–10 billion+, and demands vast tracts of land and water. Community concerns noted include environmental impact, water use, emissions, strain on local utilities, and public transparency, alongside significant public incentives like 25-year property tax rebates.
