Meta's Prometheus (1GW Ohio data center) operational in 2026; Hyperion (5GW Louisiana facility) under development—first gigawatt-scale facilities globally
Mark Zuckerberg· Meta· AI· 2026-05-30· about Meta (META)
“Prometheus, the data center of 1 gigawatt in Ohio, which will operate this year, turns out to be the first gigawatt scale in the world, and Hyperion, a complex in Louisiana that is planned to reach 5 gigawatts, with almost a big share of the world.”
Why it matters
Gigawatt-scale facilities represent a step-change in infrastructure size and power demand, likely requiring new power infrastructure investment, cooling solutions, and supply chain coordination at unprecedented scale.
Investment implication
Power utilities, transmission infrastructure providers, and specialized cooling/energy management vendors should model increased demand from these facilities. Competing hyperscalers may face power grid constraints in Ohio and Louisiana.
