Operated by Meta Platforms at Meta El Paso AI Campus .
Phase 1 seed dataset, compiled by hand. These rows were built from public operator, laboratory and vendor sources. A mechanical second-reader pass has since fetched every cited source: 1092 of 1153 systems have a readable citation that names them, and 40 are genuinely weakly sourced. Every claim carries its source and a confidence tier. Treat anything below verified as a lead, not a citation.

What this machine is made of
One row per supplier relationship. “Supplier at build” is the company that shipped the part at the time; where that company has since been acquired, the parent it rolls up to today is shown beside it. That distinction is what makes ticker-level aggregation possible across a thirty-year dataset.
| Role | Part | Supplier at build | Quantity | Confidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Integrator | - Meta builds the 1 GW El Paso AI data center, financed through a venture with BlackRock funds holding 80 percent | Meta Platforms | - | Reported | investor.atmeta.com |
AI datacenter metrics
Figures beyond an accelerator count, each with who stated it. What can and cannot be compared across AI datacenters.
| Metric | Value | As of | Basis | Note | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stated investment | 14 USD bn | 2026-07 | Operator stated | Meta: about $14 bn total development cost for buildings and long-lived power, cooling, connectivity; BlackRock funds 80 percent, Meta 20 percent | investor.atmeta.com |
| Stated investment | 10 USD bn | 2026-03 | Operator stated | Meta: $10 bn or more for the 1 GW El Paso campus, raised in March 2026 from an initial $1.5 bn; floor value | about.fb.com |
| Facility power | 1,000 MW | 2026-03 | Design target | Meta: El Paso campus "will grow to 1 gigawatt"; BlackRock venture release says 1 GW of compute capacity, operations from 2028; both Meta statements | datacenters.atmeta.cominvestor.atmeta.com |

How AI campuses are powered: capacities are what the operator, utility or filing states, not what has been delivered.
The read
Meta's AI-optimized data center campus in El Paso, Texas, announced in October 2025 and confirmed in March 2026 as growing to 1 GW with more than 10 billion dollars of investment, served by El Paso Electric with a closed-loop liquid-cooled design. On 28 July 2026 Meta announced a venture with BlackRock funds, which take 80 percent, to finance the campus at roughly 14 billion dollars of total development cost, with operations to begin in 2028 and construction under way. Both pages are Meta's own and give no hardware, so the tier is reported.

Source check
We fetched this system's own citations and recorded whether each page actually mentions it. This is a corroboration signal, not a fact check, and it is published so you can see how well the sourcing holds up rather than take it on trust.
One cited source was readable and does not mention this system; another could not be read because the host returned a bot challenge. The unreadable one may well be fine, so this is weaker evidence than a corroborated row and much stronger than an unsupported one. See how this check works.
