Capacity Watch ·
Data center capacity watch
What operators, regulators and utilities have said on the record about new capacity: campus announcements, grid approvals, government allocations, anchor leases and go-lives — each with its source. Alongside it, the construction pipeline from the catalog, where every MW is a figure the operator published.
Quick answer
How much data center capacity has been announced recently?
In the last 90 days Coloprice logged 13 public capacity statements totalling 13,484 MW where a figure was stated (the largest: Nvidia / SB Energy / OpenAI, 8,000 MW). Separately, the catalog holds 555 facilities under construction or announced with 78,920 MW of published capacity in 67 countries. Both figures are sums of published numbers only; statements without a number are listed but not counted.
Public statements
Sorted newest first. MW is the party's own headline figure — IT load, grid supply or generation, as they state it; the unit column says which. Rows without a figure are kept because the statement itself is the fact.

What qualifies
Press releases, regulator decisions, exchange filings, government allocations and operator announcements that name a capacity figure or a concrete capacity decision. Private correspondence, leaked documents and analyst estimates are never used. Where a party states capacity inconsistently across its own materials, the row records the figure from the primary release and says so. Corrections welcome — every row cites its source.
