Read the numbers the way the evidence allows. Announced multi-year site commitments overlap with one another and with reported capital expenditure, so this atlas never sums them into a single deployment figure. Blocked-and-delayed totals from different trackers cover different windows and definitions, and are shown side by side rather than added. Where a figure could not be confirmed from a fetched source, the entry reads n.a. rather than an estimate.
Section 01 · The map
The capital map
Every named site in the atlas, placed where it stands. Copper circles are committed capital: campuses announced, under construction, or operating, sized by announced dollars (megawatts where dollars are undisclosed). Red, amber, and violet circles are the wall: projects blocked, delayed, or halted by courts, sized the same way. Click any circle for the record and its sources.
Circle area scales with announced capital. Sites with no confirmed dollar figure are sized by megawatts, and shown at minimum size where neither is disclosed. Locations are plotted at the named city or county. 286 records are mapped; entries without a confirmed location appear in the tables below but not on the map.
Section 02 · The numbers

Financingbalance-sheet capex plus heavy finance leasing of third-party datacenter shells; lease-accounting shift to 25-year terms lowering reported capex
MSFT
Microsoft's audited additions to property and equipment rose from $44,477 million in FY2024 to $64,551 million in FY2025 and $115,948 million in FY2026, with finance leases used heavily for large third-party datacenter shells. In July 2026 it moved to 25-year lease treatment and guided to $175 billion of reported capex for calendar 2026, below its prior $190 billion estimate, framed as accounting-driven rather than demand-driven. Its flagship North American commitment is more than $7 billion in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, alongside sites in Georgia, Texas, Arizona, Virginia and Washington. Microsoft is also the most heavily documented case of capacity pull-back, with up to about 2 GW of leases and LOIs cancelled or deferred per TD Cowen, about 1.5 GW of self-build frozen per SemiAnalysis, and a $1 billion Ohio project paused.

Purchases of property and equipment remaining in accounts payable were $6.9 billion at 30 June 2025 versus $4.3 billion at 30 June 2024.
Reuters contextualised Microsoft's spend as part of '$700 billion in unprecedented Big Tech outlays'.
TD Cowen said Microsoft has walked away from data center projects in the US and Europe to the tune of 2 GW, in a note published 26 March that included lease cancellations and deferrals, following earlier speculation about 200 MW walked away from in February 2025; Reuters covered the same analyst thesis as a potential oversupply signal.
SemiAnalysis counter-read: the 2 GW of lease cancellations only covers non-binding LOIs, not firm contracts; Microsoft has approximately 5 GW of pre-leased capacity under binding contracts starting operations between 2025 and 2028, but is freezing 1.5 GW of near-term self-build datacenter projects previously scheduled to go online in 2025 and 2026.
Estimated delayed or paused envelope for Microsoft per the atlas: up to about 2 GW of leases and LOIs cancelled or deferred plus about 1.5 GW of self-build frozen, and about $1 billion of Ohio capex paused.

GOOGL
Alphabet's audited purchases of property and equipment were $52,535 million in 2024 and $91,447 million in 2025, with comparatively small finance-lease additions, indicating Google self-builds and owns far more of its fleet than Microsoft leases. 2026 capex guidance was raised twice, from $175-185 billion to $195-205 billion, after a record $44.9 billion quarter that produced Alphabet's first cash-negative quarter since its 2004 IPO. Unlike peers, Alphabet began tapping equity markets, raising $49.6 billion net in June 2026 partly for capex, and agreed to acquire data center company Intersect for $4.75 billion.

Meta's documented pauses come from its earlier design-rescope cycle rather than the 2025-2026 AI build: the company ripped up its data center plans and paused projects around the world as it redesigned them for AI workloads, first cancelling its Danish data center expansion outright before pausing projects in Texas and Alabama.
The rescope cycle is pinned to Meta's 11,000-employee layoff announcement (some 13 percent of its workforce) and reworking of 11 under-development projects, with Temple, Texas the next pause, i.e. the late-2022 rescope, not a 2026 event.

Oracle is one of the initial equity funders in Stargate alongside SoftBank, OpenAI and MGX; reported equity split leaves Oracle a minority, with OpenAI maintaining a 40% stake and SoftBank similarly possessing a 40% share.
The Saline Township financing sits against a BBB-negative credit outlook and $553 billion in performance obligations concentrated heavily in a single counterparty, OpenAI.

As of mid-2026 the combined Colossus campuses provided on the order of 1 gigawatt of AI compute capacity.
A permanent ~1.2 GW simple-cycle plant of 41 turbines received a Mississippi Prevention of Significant Deterioration permit in March 2026, with temporary units scheduled for phased removal by mid-2027 under a 2026 agreement with state regulators.
xAI won a permit for turbines to power the Memphis supercomputer and in 2026 won an air permit for its makeshift power plant despite backlash; The Guardian reported the datacenter was generating extra electricity illegally, Senator Whitehouse called for answers about a pattern of operating illegal data center gas plants, and Earthjustice and the NAACP have litigated.
Plans for an $80 million wastewater / greywater recycling plant near Colossus 1 were paused in 2026 while the company focused on completing and stabilizing Colossus 2, and a contractor publicly alleged non-payment on Colossus and Colossus II in August 2026; no cancelled xAI campus was identified, cancelled capacity n.a.

Groq
Financingventure equity plus sovereign (Saudi) commitment; assets acquired by Nvidia per CNBC
Groq raised $640 million in August 2024 at a $2.8 billion valuation, $750 million in September 2025 at $6.9 billion, and $650 million in June 2026, alongside a $1.5 billion Saudi commitment announced February 2025 tied to a Dammam data center. A later Reuters page renders the Saudi figure as $15 billion; the atlas treats $1.5 billion as the originally reported commitment. Nvidia agreed to acquire Groq's assets for about $20 billion in cash, its largest purchase on record, while Groq characterized it as a non-exclusive licensing agreement without disclosing a price. Groq operates 13 data centers with a 200MW target by end-2027.
Record
The two Reuters figures for the Saudi commitment conflict ($1.5 billion originally, '$15 billion' on a later page); the atlas flags the discrepancy in-line and treats $1.5B as originally reported.
Groq operates 13 data centers with a 200MW target by end-2027, following a December 2025 non-exclusive Nvidia licensing agreement; it had been targeting $500 million of revenue for the year, with approximately $500 million of Saudi contract revenue expected per Reuters.

The Nvidia web
One company sits at the center of the NeoCloud layer four ways at once: as supplier, investor, lessee, and credit enhancer.
Financingbalance-sheet equity stakes, capacity backstops and lease/residual-value guarantees that convert Nvidia's balance sheet into third-party debt capacity; financing-platform sponsor with asset managers
NVDA
Nvidia is the only entity in the atlas that appears simultaneously as equipment supplier, equity investor, capacity lessee, residual-value guarantor and financing-platform sponsor, making its balance sheet the effective credit enhancement behind a large share of the NeoCloud layer. It is named among the key initial technology partners of the Stargate Project but not among its equity funders. Its direct-investment ladder spans equity stakes, IPO orders, capacity backstops and lease guarantees across CoreWeave, Nebius, Lambda, Nscale, Together AI, Crusoe, Poolside and Groq, alongside a full exit from Applied Digital. On August 10, 2026 it announced financing platforms with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs and KKR intended to mobilize over $500 billion of third-party capital over time.

Record
Nvidia is named among Arm, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Oracle, and OpenAI as the key initial technology partners of the Stargate Project, though not among its equity funders, which are SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle, and MGX.
Nvidia joined the AI Infrastructure Partnership on 19 March 2025, alongside xAI, when the platform was renamed and confirmed a target of $30 billion of equity scaling to up to $100 billion including debt.
Nvidia is a partner in KKR's approximately $10 billion Helix Digital Infrastructure vehicle with Kuwait Investment Authority and Vistra, and was named a founding investor in Helix alongside KKR.
Nvidia wrote $2 billion equity cheques into CoreWeave at $87.20 per share and into Nebius, each tied to partnerships to scale more than 5GW by 2030.
Nvidia is reported to be introducing a model guaranteeing a minimum GPU utilization floor for neocloud operators to de-risk GPU-backed loans by backing residual value.
In the same window as its CoreWeave and Nebius equity commitments, Nvidia sold its entire Applied Digital position, worth roughly $182 million, with the exit disclosed in a Q4 13F.
The $6.3 billion unsold-capacity order running to April 13, 2032 and the reported minimum-GPU-utilization floor for neocloud operators are the two mechanisms that most directly convert Nvidia's balance sheet into third-party debt capacity.
No dollar-denominated per-partner NCP program commitments were confirmable in the source (n.a.).
Groq appears in this part as an AI chip startup that Nvidia agreed to buy for about $20 billion on December 24, 2025, described by the source as an approximately $20B asset purchase with a non-exclusive license and as Nvidia's biggest deal. The same report notes Nvidia held $60.6B cash at end-October.
Record
Nvidia is buying AI chip startup Groq for about $20 billion, structured as an asset purchase with a non-exclusive license, announced December 24, 2025.
Oracle's Abilene tenancy runs on GB200 racks, with Oracle beginning delivery of the first NVIDIA GB200 racks in June 2025. Crusoe announced the flagship Abilene data center is live. Nvidia's capital role in this Stargate-adjacent capacity is indirect but material.

JLL's Midyear 2025 report put North American colocation inventory at 15.5 GW, vacancy at a record-low 2.3% (down from 3.0%), with 2.2 GW of H1 absorption, 1.6 GW of completions, 7.8 GW under construction at 73% preleased, and a 31.6 GW planned pipeline.
At Year-End 2025 JLL tracked 39 GW of active North American capacity, roughly half leased and half hyperscaler-owned, vacancy at 1% for a second consecutive year, and a 35 GW construction pipeline of which 64% sits outside traditional mature markets.
At Midyear 2026 JLL reported vacancy held at 1% for a third consecutive year, likely to remain near zero through 2028, with more than 66 GW under construction and available capacity limited to small, fragmented blocks, with most tenants contracting for 2028 deliveries.
The atlas describes JLL's Midyear 2026 framing as the closest thing in the brokerage record to explicit frozen pipeline language, a market where new demand cannot be served for roughly three years.
The four firms differ on vacancy because they define inventory differently: CBRE's 1.6% (H1 2025) and JLL's 2.3% cover colocation in primary or tracked markets, while Cushman's 4.2% covers a broader 43.4 GW Americas base including secondary markets. All four converge on the same conclusion: pre-commitment rates of 73% to 89% mean the pipeline is functionally sold before it is built, so any delay converts directly into unserved contracted demand.

CBRE
Financingbrokerage research and advisory, no principal capital position stated
CBRE's H1 2025 research reported record primary-market supply of 8,155 MW alongside a record-low 1.6% vacancy, with 74.3% of new capacity preleased. Its full-year 2025 Northern Virginia data showed 1,102 MW of net absorption, 0.5% vacancy, and just 21.5 MW of available supply in a 4,039.6 MW market, which the atlas characterizes as a functional freeze. CBRE also reported global vacancy falling to a record-low 6.6% in Q1 2025.
Record
In H1 2025, CBRE reported primary-market supply reached a record 8,155 MW, up 17.6% from H2 2024 and 43.4% year over year, while vacancy fell to a record-low 1.6%.
74.3% of new capacity was preleased in H1 2025; Northern Virginia posted 538.6 MW of net absorption with an 80% surge in under-construction capacity, Atlanta added nearly 1 GW, and Dallas-Fort Worth was on pace to double in size by 2026.
For full-year 2025 Northern Virginia, CBRE reported 1,102 MW of net absorption, up 144% year over year; vacancy of 0.5%, the lowest of any primary US market; inventory of 4,039.6 MW, up 37%; more than 1 GW delivered in 2025; and available supply at year-end of just 21.5 MW.
CBRE reported global vacancy fell 2.1 percentage points year over year to a record-low 6.6% in Q1 2025.

Its December 2025 power report notes global operational capacity surpassed 49 GW by H1 2025 and that AI facilities consume 200-400 MW per site versus 10-25 MW for conventional facilities. An explicit C&W powered land moratorium formulation was n.a. in the fetched documents.

C&W's Data Centres & The Power Challenge (No. 3, December 2025) notes global operational capacity surpassed 49 GW by H1 2025, that conventional facilities need 10-25 MW while AI facilities consume 200-400 MW per site, that GPU white-space power density can exceed 50x standard industrial, and that data centres consumed 415 TWh in 2024, or 1.5% of global electricity.

Reading note. The 'Paused MW' and '$ at risk' columns are floors, not estimates of total exposure. They aggregate only figures that a fetched source attached to a specific named project or jurisdiction. Most blocked projects never disclose capex. Of the 96 project-level entries in section C.1, roughly two-thirds carry either a dollar figure or an MW figure but not both, because local rezoning dockets disclose acreage and square footage while investment figures come from economic-development announcements that a withdrawn project never makes. Moratoriums have no denominator. A 180-day pause in a county with an active pipeline forecloses applications that were never filed. The 116 municipal moratoriums and 483 tracked state-level actions have no per-action MW attached in any source fetched for this report. Queue positions are not projects. Dominion's ~45 GW under study with no connection date and ERCOT's ~474 GW contain heavy duplication from developers filing at multiple points of interconnection. They cannot be summed into the '$ at risk' column, which is why they are reported separately in section C.2 rather than folded into jurisdiction totals. The national aggregates in C.0 ($64B → $98B → $156B → ~$130B) are not additive across periods. They are successive, overlapping snapshots from the same tracker family, each with a different window and a different blocked/delayed/cancelled definition. The one internally consistent, non-overlapping figure in this report is the cancellation-only cohort: $89.7B across 17 facilities in 10 states, average $5.3B per facility (Bommarito). An independent tracker counts 225 moratoriums and restrictions across 30 states as of August 4, 2026, explicitly a floor rather than a census (ElectricChoice). The AEP Ohio tariff outcome, anticipated demand cut from 30,000 MW to ~5,700 MW, is described by the source as the single most instructive datapoint in the dataset on the difference between queue volume and real demand. Claims that roughly half of 2026 US capacity is delayed or cancelled circulated widely and were explicitly contested by SemiAnalysis ('Stop Saying Half of 2026 US Datacenter Capacity Is Canceled'), a genuine analytical dispute that the source says should be flagged rather than resolved.

PJM
PJM projects summer peak growth of 70 GW to 220 GW over 15 years, with roughly 30 GW of the 32 GW of 2024-2030 growth attributable to data centers. A 6.8 GW capacity shortfall triggered a one-time backstop auction, and PJM's own FERC testimony states it has no load interconnection process of its own.
Capacity auction fell 5.6% short of required reserve margin; 6.8 GW shortfall triggered a one-time backstop auction starting September for the delivery year beginning mid-2028.
New large loads without their own supply will be curtailed near emergency conditions and excluded from demand forecasts.
Data centers accounted for $6.3B, or 38%, of the $16.4B most recent capacity-auction cost.
140,000 MW processed under 2022 queue reform with 46,000 MW at signed IAs.
PJM's VP of Planning testified that PJM does not presently have a load interconnection process; load interconnection is administered through retail tariffs by EDCs and LSEs even where data centers connect at transmission level.
ERCOT474 GW requested
ERCOT's large-load queue grew from 63 GW in December 2024 to about 474 GW by mid-2026, roughly 90 percent data centers and more than five times ERCOT peak demand. Following the governor's August 3, 2026 audit order, ERCOT suspended Batch Zero large-load classification notifications.

Dominion's contracted data center pipeline grew from 21 GW in July 2024 to more than 48 GW by December 2025, while its large-load delivery-point queue reached 70 GW by February 2026 with roughly 45 GW under study and no connection date. A shareholder resolution cautions that nearly 30 GW rests on preliminary engineering paperwork without firm take-or-pay obligations.
Of the 47 GW contracted pipeline, only ~9 GW had executed construction letters of authorization and 28 GW sat at substation-engineering LOA stage.
A 2026 shareholder resolution notes 47 GW is roughly twice Dominion's current peak system capacity and that nearly 30 GW rests on preliminary engineering paperwork with no firm take-or-pay obligations, allowing customers to delay, downsize, or cancel with minimal consequence.
Dominion raised its five-year capital plan 30% to $65B, with >90% of the increase inside Dominion Energy Virginia, and was awarded more than $5B of PJM projects with in-service dates through 2032.
AEP Ohio (utility-level)
After PUCO approved AEP Ohio's take-or-pay tariff, anticipated data center demand fell from 30,000 MW to about 5,700 MW. The source calls this the single most instructive datapoint in the dataset on the difference between queue volume and real demand.
AEP Ohio halted new data center service requests in March 2023 with 50+ data centers awaiting service.
PUCO approved the data center tariff in Case 24-508-EL-ATA on July 9, 2025: 85% take-or-pay over 12 years for loads ≥25 MW, effective July 23, 2025, with the next study tranche opening March 2, 2026.
Arizona's data center queue of 19 GW to 30,000 MW compares against an APS peak load of roughly 8,200 to 8,700 MW, with average requests of 400 to 500 MW. APS told the ACC's April 2026 large-load workshop that interest exceeds its capacity to serve.
The ACC opened docket E-00000A-25-0069 in 2025 and held a large-load workshop on April 16, 2026, where APS said interest exceeds its capacity to serve.
PSEG (utility-level, New Jersey)9 GW requested
PSEG's large-load pipeline, overwhelmingly data centers, reached 9.4 GW. New Jersey residential electric bills rose about 20 percent in 2025 with AI data centers accounting for about 70 percent of new state power demand.
PSEG Nuclear owns 3,758 MW at a 95.8% capacity factor, ~40% of NJ electricity; New Jersey lifted its nuclear-build moratorium in early April 2026.
Residential electric bills rose ~20% in 2025 with AI data centers accounting for ~70% of new state power demand; more than 80 data centers operate or are under construction in New Jersey.
DTE (utility-level, Michigan)8 GW requested
DTE's identified data center opportunity is 8.4 GW, composed of the 1.4 GW Oracle contract, 3 GW in advanced discussions, and 3 to 4 GW in the pipeline. The total is essentially unchanged from 2024, meaning a year of activity converted pipeline into contract without expanding the total.
A year of activity converted pipeline into contract without expanding the total, per the source's reading of DTE disclosures.
Silicon Valley Power (municipal utility, Santa Clara, CA)0 GW requested
Silicon Valley Power faced 500 MW of additional requested load against a 720 MW existing peak and capped new data center approvals after June 2025. Around 60 data centers already represent 55 percent of SVP power use.
SVP's director told a January 28, 2026 California Assembly joint hearing that ~60 data centers operate in SVP territory at typically 50-100 MW each, representing 55% of SVP power use, against a current peak of ~740 MW rising to ~1,300 MW in five to ten years.
Santa Clara had 57 active or under-construction data centers as of a May city council presentation, and Silicon Valley Power's $450M upgrade is scheduled for 2028; an earlier account put major SVP upgrades at 2029.

FERC Order 2023 (generator interconnection reform)
Issued July 2023; reforms took effect in 2024 in most regions.
Order 2023 replaced first-come-first-served serial study with first-ready, first-served cluster studies, imposed financial penalties for missed study deadlines, and established co-location standards letting storage share a single interconnection request with generation. Despite the reforms, median request-to-COD lengthened to 61 months for the 2025 in-service cohort. Order 2023 does not cover load.
DOE directive to FERC and FERC ANOPR on large-load interconnection
DOE directive October 2025; FERC responded with the ANOPR in roughly eight months after receiving more than 3,500 pages of comments.
DOE directed FERC in October 2025 to establish rules for data center interconnection. The resulting ANOPR, "Ensuring the Timely and Orderly Interconnection of Large Loads," proposed aligning large-load and hybrid-facility procedures with the pro forma generator interconnection procedures and studying load and hybrid facilities together with generating facilities to enable "efficient siting" and minimize "costly network upgrades".
FERC show cause orders to six ISOs/RTOs
June 18, 2026; 60 days to defend or revise (to August 17, 2026) plus a separate 30-day generation-sufficiency reporting deadline.
FERC issued six Federal Power Act Section 206 show cause orders, one each to PJM, MISO, SPP, CAISO, NYISO and ISO-NE, preliminarily finding their tariffs inadequate for lack of clear and consistent large-load rules. Each had 60 days to defend or revise and 30 days to report how it will ensure sufficient generation to serve large loads.
PJM Behind-The-Meter Generation compliance filing
Filed February 23, 2026, requesting a July 31, 2026 effective date, in response to a December 2025 FERC order on co-located load.
PJM filed a compliance filing revising Behind-The-Meter Generation tariff provisions in response to FERC's December 2025 order on co-located load, ahead of the June 2026 show cause orders.
DOE Resource Adequacy Report
July 7, 2025, issued under Executive Order 14262 (April 8, 2025).
The report concluded the grid cannot sustain the combined impact of plant closures, overreliance on intermittent resources, and data center load growth, that growth is concentrated in PJM, ERCOT and the West, and that it cannot be met with existing approaches to load addition and grid management.
DOE 2024 National Transmission Planning Study and the transmission build gap
Study from 2024; construction data for 2023 and 2024.
DOE's study indicated roughly 5,000 miles per year of high-capacity regional transmission is needed and did not incorporate current load growth, against actual construction of 888 miles of 345 kV+ in 2024 and 322 miles in 2023. The build rate is roughly 18 percent of the identified requirement, before accounting for data center load.
FERC rejection of the Talen-Amazon Susquehanna amended ISA
Rejected 2-1 on November 1, 2024; Talen sought rehearing November 21, 2024; AEP and Exelon protested under docket ER24-2172 on June 24, 2024.
FERC rejected the amended interconnection service agreement for AWS co-location at Talen's Susquehanna nuclear plant, where 480 MW was requested versus 300 MW already approved behind-the-meter at a 2,494-2,520 MW plant. The rejection turned on PJM failing to show that non-pro forma ISA provisions were needed for "specific reliability concerns," "novel legal issues," or "other unique factors". Commissioners Christie and See were in the majority and Chairman Phillips dissented.

Applies to hyperscale data centers of 50 MW and above; no fixed expiration; DEC to hold in abeyance all discretionary permits for construction or expansion until DPS files a final GEIS. Exempts projects already under construction, modifications of previously issued approvals, and renewals.
Signed July 14, 2026, EO 62 is the first statewide data center moratorium in the nation, against a NYISO queue of roughly 12 GW of data center load requests. New York data centers contributed $49 billion of GDP and $5.1 billion of taxes in 2024.

A separate legislature-passed bill would bar projects of 20 MW or more and impose near-total renewable-energy requirements by 2050 on projects larger than 1 MW. A February 2026 bill would freeze state and local approvals for any new data center above 20 MW for three years.
The Legislature passed a more expansive 12-month moratorium than EO 62, and additional bills target 20 MW and even 1 MW thresholds. IBEW Third District VP Frank Muia warned a blanket moratorium "risks sending billions of dollars in private investment… to neighboring states".

United States (statewide legislative landscape)
federal
Lawmakers in 14 states are considering banning data center development, including Georgia HB 1059, which would forbid local permitting until December 2028. Moratorium proposals have surfaced in Maine, Maryland, Georgia, Oklahoma, Virginia, Vermont, Michigan, California and Wisconsin, and Senator Bernie Sanders has called for a national pause.
State legislatures in 14 states are weighing bans, and a US senator has floated a nationwide moratorium, against $650 billion of planned hyperscaler capex over the coming year and $6 billion of forfeited state revenue from sales-tax exemptions over five years.
United States (moratorium and restriction counts)
federal
A Bipartisan Policy Center report released July 29 identified 54 local data center moratoriums nationwide and said at least 15 states have considered statewide moratorium legislation. One tracker counts 10 active state bans/moratoriums, 8 with legislation advancing, 16 under discussion, and 18 of 50 states restricting or considering restrictions, against 8 with incentives.
Independent trackers disagree on counts by definition and window. The DataCenterBans tally and the BPC report use different units, so counts should not be merged.

What the combined record shows
Twelve findings that emerge only when the corporate, lab, NeoCloud, private-capital, REIT, and capital-at-risk records are read against one another. Each is stated with the evidence that supports it, including the places where the evidence disagrees with itself.
1%
JLL reports North American data center vacancy at 1% for a third consecutive year, with more than 66 GW under construction.
The same market
~$130B
~75 projects blocked or delayed in the first quarter of 2026 alone.
Demand was never the constraint. Every one of the 128 projects in the wall was stopped by a vote, a utility denial, a queue position, a tariff, a court order, or a state executive order, not by an absence of tenants.
X.14 data points
Reported capex has stopped being a clean measure of physical buildout
Headline capex figures no longer map cleanly to physical construction.
Microsoft's calendar-2026 capex figure fell from $190B to $175B purely because it extended lease amortisation from 15 to 25 years, with management explicitly saying its calendar year 2026 CapEx investment expectations remain unchanged.
Meta and Oracle are moving real capacity off the balance sheet into JVs and partner debt, with $27B (Blue Owl), $14B (BlackRock), and $72B (Oracle partner debt), so headline capex increasingly understates deployed capital.
A $15 billion reduction in Microsoft's calendar-2026 reported figure and the $27 billion, $14 billion, and $72 billion migration of Meta and Oracle capacity into joint ventures and partner debt are movements in accounting presentation, not in concrete poured.
Applied Digital carries approximately $36.2 billion of take-or-pay, non-cancellable revenue across 1,410MW of contracted critical IT load that appears on no hyperscaler capex line at all.
X.210 data points
Financing structures have bifurcated into four distinct regimes
Financing has split into four regimes.
Amazon, Google and Microsoft remain overwhelmingly self-funded from operating cash flow, though Alphabet raised $49.6B of equity and mandatory convertibles in June 2026.
Oracle uses senior notes plus site-level project bonds, with US banks stepping back and PIMCO taking roughly $10B of a roughly $14B tranche at a 7.5% coupon.
xAI funds its buildout with venture equity plus secured debt.
CoreWeave's debt moved from $2.3B (2023) to $7.5B (2024) to a $35.1B total debt balance at June 30, 2026.
Nebius funded roughly $13B of convertible notes in twelve months.
Applied Digital and Core Scientific each priced multi-billion secured note tranches.
Aligned was acquired at a $40 billion enterprise value funded 100% with equity.
Vantage completed a $9.2 billion equity investment inside $13 billion of 2024 incremental funding.
Macquarie provided a $5 billion perpetual preferred facility for Applied Digital.
Blue Owl made a $7 billion cash contribution at Hyperion, an instrument that cannot be unwound on a quarterly guidance cycle.
X.36 data points
Site-level scope inflation is the dominant pattern, not contraction
Announced projects systematically grow rather than shrink.
Meta's Richland Parish went $10B to $27B to more than $50B and 2 GW to 5 GW in nineteen months.
Amazon's New Carlisle went from $11B to $26B.
Microsoft's Wisconsin project went from $3.3B to more than $7B.
Meta's El Paso went from $1.5B to more than $10B.
Applied Digital's contracted position moved from roughly $7B and 250MW in June 2025 to roughly $11B and 400MW by August 2025 to approximately $31 billion of contracted baseline revenue by May 2026.
Crusoe's Abilene position moved from a 206MW first phase to 1.2GW to 2.1GW with the addition of a 900MW Microsoft campus.
X.42 data points
The demand-driven pull-backs are concentrated in Microsoft and Oracle/OpenAI
The pull-backs that exist are concentrated in two entities.
Microsoft is the only entity with a large, independently quantified retrenchment, roughly 2 GW of leases and LOIs and 1.5 GW of self-build, and Oracle/OpenAI is the only one with a specific cancelled expansion, the Abilene 1.2 GW to 2 GW expansion dropped.
Of the 96 project-level entries in Part IX, entry 96, Microsoft's roughly 2 GW portfolio-wide lease pullback, is the only one attributable to a builder's own capacity decision at scale, and even that attribution is contested; every other entry was stopped by a land-use vote, a utility capacity denial, a queue position, a tariff, a court order or a state executive order.

The three failure modes, ranked by capital destroyed
The Bommarito cancellation analysis attributes the 2025 cohort's $89.7B as $42.2B to community opposition (49% of value), $26.0B to regulatory and zoning failure (27%), and $21.5B to failed incentives (24%).
The Bommarito cancellation analysis attributes the 2025 cohort's $89.7B as $42.2B to community opposition (49% of value), $26.0B to regulatory and zoning failure (27%), and $21.5B to failed incentives (24%).
Prince William Digital Gateway, $24.7B, 2 GW, 27M sq ft, had its rezoning voided in August 2025 and affirmed on appeal March 31 2026, with Compass withdrawing April 29 2026 and QTS terminating July 2 2026, extinguishing four years of entitlement work and the largest single data center rezoning in US history through litigation over procedural defects, not market conditions.
Consent risk also produced Project Blue in Tucson, $3.6B on 290 acres rejected unanimously August 6 2025, Google in Franklin Township, Indiana, $1.0B / 300 MW denied 7-0, and Fredericksburg's 1500 Gateway, 2.1M sq ft rejected 7-0 in December 2025.
Loudoun County removed by-right data center development on a 7-2 vote March 18 2025, converting what had been a ministerial permit in the largest data center county on earth into a political contest.
Opposition capacity grew from 142 groups in 24 states to 833 groups in 49 states in about fourteen months.
Berkeley Lab data shows median request-to-COD of 61 months for 2025 in-service projects versus 22 months in 2008, with more than 750 GW withdrawing during 2025 and roughly 75% of all capacity that entered queues between 2000 and 2020 having withdrawn by year-end 2025.
PJM's VP of Planning testified that PJM does not presently have a load interconnection process at all, with transmission-connected data centers administered through retail EDC and LSE tariffs.
Dominion has a 70 GW delivery-point queue with roughly 45 GW under study carrying no connection date.
ERCOT's queue grew from 63 GW to roughly 226 GW to roughly 474 GW, roughly 90% data centers and more than five times peak demand.
DOE's own planning study implied roughly 5,000 miles/year of high-capacity regional transmission without incorporating current load growth, against 888 miles of 345 kV+ built in 2024 and 322 miles in 2023, about 18% of the identified requirement.
PUCO approved AEP Ohio case 24-508-EL-ATA on July 9 2025, imposing 85% take-or-pay minimum demand charges over 12-year terms on large data center loads.
After the AEP Ohio tariff, anticipated data center demand in AEP Ohio's territory fell from roughly 30,000 MW to approximately 5,700 MW, meaning roughly 81% of the stated pipeline evaporated when speculative interconnection requests were forced to carry a financial commitment.
Texas legislated the same take-or-pay logic in SB 6, signed June 20 2025, with a 75 MW threshold, and Duke Energy set a 100 MW large-load threshold in North Carolina.
Data centers accounted for $6.3B, or 38%, of the $16.4B most recent PJM capacity auction cost, against New Jersey residential bill increases of about 20% in 2025.

Power, not capital, is now the binding constraint
Every large 2025 to 2026 announcement pairs capacity with firm-power procurement, including Amazon's 1,920 MW Susquehanna PPA to 2042, Google's 500 MW Kairos SMR program and 6,200 MW of Texas PPAs, Meta's Entergy gas build in Louisiana, Michigan's 1.4 GW DTE contract for Stargate, and xAI's self-built 1.2 GW plant with 41 turbines.
Amazon signed a 1,920 MW Susquehanna PPA running to 2042.
Google has a 500 MW Kairos SMR programme and 6,200 MW of Texas PPAs.
Meta paired its Louisiana buildout with an Entergy gas build.
Michigan regulators approved a 1.4 GW DTE contract for Stargate.
xAI self-built a 1.2 GW plant with 41 turbines.
Where power is unavailable projects move, as at Abilene, where power will also not be ready at the site for a year.
Newmark states that data center power demand is expected to exceed utility supply by 50%.
CyrusOne's answer was dedicated generation, a $1.2 billion investment and 190-megawatt Calpine agreement, followed by a 380-megawatt Constellation agreement with a second phase of another 380 MW.
Silver Lake launched a $400 million powered-land platform with more than 6GW planned.
KKR's Helix vehicle is explicitly built to deliver hyperscale data centers with secured power.
The Poolside/CoreWeave 2GW Texas campus collapsed with power procurement challenges cited.

Compute is fungible across labs, clouds and landlords in a way it was not in 2024
Labs are becoming landlords' counterparties and each other's suppliers.
Anthropic simultaneously buys from AWS (more than $100B / 5 GW), Google (multi-GW TPUs, roughly $200B), SpaceX/xAI (more than 300 MW) and builds its own with Fluidstack ($50B).
Google rents roughly 110,000 GPUs from SpaceX for $920M/month.
Meta is reportedly negotiating to absorb Crusoe capacity abandoned by OpenAI.
CoreWeave has a roughly $104B backlog on $2.575B quarterly revenue.
Applied Digital holds roughly $36.2B of take-or-pay on 1,410MW.
Cerebras has $24.6B RPO with only 15% expected in 2026 to 2027.
Microsoft was 62% of CoreWeave's 2024 revenue.
G42 was 87% of Cerebras' H1 2024 revenue, with MBZUAI at 62% in 2025.
Core Scientific's HPC business is effectively a single-counterparty roughly $10.2B CoreWeave contract.
Nvidia is simultaneously supplier, investor, lessee and credit enhancer, with $2B equity checks into CoreWeave and Nebius, a $6.3B capacity backstop, $860M of partner lease guarantees, a roughly $20B Groq transaction, and a $500B third-party financing platform.
Nvidia's complete exit from its Applied Digital position shows the support is selective, not blanket.
The $9.0B CoreWeave and Core Scientific merger failed at the shareholder vote, while the Voltage Park and Lightning AI merger closed at more than $2.5B.

The vacancy paradox
Part B and Part C describe the same market and appear to contradict each other, but they do not.
JLL reports 1% vacancy at year-end 2025, a record low and the second consecutive year at that level, against 39 GW of active North American capacity and 35 GW under construction, with 1% vacancy persisting into midyear 2026 for a third year and more than 66 GW under construction.
CBRE independently measured 1.6% record-low vacancy across 8,155 MW of primary-market supply in H1 2025, with 74.3% of under-construction capacity preleased.
Cushman & Wakefield put 25.3 GW under construction in the Americas at roughly 89% pre-committed.
Northern Virginia ran 0.5% vacancy with 21.5 MW available out of 4,039.6 MW of inventory after 1,102 MW of absorption in 2025, up 144% year over year.
Part C shows roughly $130B of projects blocked or delayed in Q1 2026 alone and cancellations rising from 2 in 2023 to 6 in 2024 to 25 in 2025.
Newmark states quantitatively that power demand exceeds available utility supply by approximately 50%.
datacenterHawk's Northern Virginia read holds that against 9.6 GW of planned capacity, utility limitations are the bottleneck.
Green Street's sector work identifies power, transmission, and obsolescence as the biggest challenges rather than absorption.
Digital Realty's SJC37 at 641 Walsh Avenue in Santa Clara is physically constructed and cannot be energized, because Silicon Valley Power serves roughly 60 data centers representing 55% of municipal load, faces peak growth from 740 MW toward roughly 1,300 MW within five to ten years, and is mid-way through a $450M upgrade program running to 2028.

The veto migrated from county to state to federal during 2026
The chronology in Part C shows a clear vertical migration of veto authority during 2026, which changes the diversification math for any multi-site portfolio.
Through 2025 essentially all documented actions were municipal or county, including Loudoun's by-right repeal, Warrenton's permanent ban in July 2025, Aurora's 180-day pause on September 25 2025, and Tucson's rejection; that risk was diversifiable across counties.
New York Executive Order 62, July 14 2026, established the first statewide moratorium in the United States, covering data centers of 50 MW or greater, holding DEC permits in abeyance until DPS completes a final Generic Environmental Impact Statement, with no fixed expiration date.
Texas Governor Abbott halted new data center grid approvals on August 3 2026 pending a PUCT and ERCOT audit, and ERCOT issued Market Notice M-A080326-01 suspending Batch Zero Large Load notifications; the two state actions removed the country's largest deregulated market and one of its largest regulated markets from the buildable set within a single month and are not diversifiable by site selection within those states.
FERC issued six Section 206 show cause orders on June 18 2026 to PJM, MISO, SPP, CAISO, NYISO and ISO-NE simultaneously, preliminarily finding every one of those tariffs inadequate for lack of clear and consistent large-load rules, with responses due within 60 days (August 17 2026).
FERC rejected the Talen-Amazon Susquehanna interconnection service agreement 2-1 on November 1 2024, where 300 MW had been approved and 480 MW was sought at a 2,520 MW plant, establishing the precedent for what an adverse ruling costs.
Fourteen states are now considering outright bans, including Georgia HB 1059, which would forbid local permitting until December 2028.

What the capital stack did in response
Part A shows the response to the failure modes was not retreat but a decisive shift toward powered land, scale, and permanent capital, the three attributes that survive the failure modes.
Digital Realty paid $3.5B for Blackstone's 64% interest in three Northern Virginia data centers totaling 288 MW, a $7.8B gross transaction, in June 2026, roughly $27M per gross MW for operating capacity in a 0.5%-vacancy market, a price only rational if greenfield entitlement in the same county is understood to be unreliable.
Iron Mountain disclosed 450 MW operating at 96% leased, 202 MW under construction, and 628 MW held for future development, roughly 1.3 GW total, with the held bank larger than the operating fleet and its value set by whether it can be powered.
Vantage completed a $9.2B equity investment led by DigitalBridge and Silver Lake atop $13B of 2024 funding.
Aligned completed a $12B capital raise.
Equinix agreed to form a greater-than-$15B xScale joint venture with GIC and CPP Investments, alongside capex rising to $4-5B annually through 2029 from $3.3B in 2025.
Cologix raised $1.5B comprising a $1B debt facility and $500M of equity.
DataBank launched a $2B program targeting 850 MW.
Novva secured $2B from JPMorgan and Starwood with CIM Group.
Flexential secured a roughly $1B convertible from GI Partners with Hamilton Lane on August 20 2025.
Digital Realty's $7.5B ATM program in May 2026 provides the listed-market equivalent of the same optionality.
Blackstone holds a $70B data center portfolio with a $100B prospective pipeline.
Tract holds entitled, powered land rather than buildings343 acres for a 1 GW campus at Morris Technology Park in greater Chicago, 2 GW in Caldwell County, Texas, and 1,700 MW at Pole Canyon, Utah.
STACK holds seven Northern Virginia sites totaling 2,400 MW.
Vantage's North American footprint runs Ashburn 590 MW, Santa Clara 216 MW, Phoenix 176 MW, Quincy 89 MW.
Iron Mountain assembled 142 acres for 400+ MW in Manassas.
Tract's Mooresville, North Carolina project, $30B and 1.5 GW, was cancelled after the utility denied capacity, and its Goodyear/Buckeye, Arizona project, $14B, was withdrawn, but the losses are option premiums rather than sunk construction.
CyrusOne's $2B, 1,200-acre project on a US Army site in Utah in spring 2026 and Iron Mountain's underground and government-adjacent portfolio point at the insight that the reliable way to eliminate a discretionary county vote is to site where no county vote exists.
Newmark reported capital markets revenue up 59.7% with more than $25B of trailing-twelve-month data center volume, against roughly $17B of data center deals in 2024, and arranged the $7.1B construction loan for a 1.2 GW Abilene campus.
Colliers measured US data center deal volume at $57B in 2024 versus $26B in 2023, and global data center investment above $580B in 2025, exceeding oil and gas investment for the first time.
Newmark's $31.5B annualized construction spend across a roughly 50M sq ft pipeline is the flow that the Part C frictions are metering.
Blackstone's QTS platform grew from roughly 400 megawatts at acquisition to roughly 3 gigawatts, while the firm simultaneously refinanced $3.5 billion and $1.5 billion of CMBS and planned a publicly traded AI-data-center vehicle sized in the tens of billions.
Carlyle and CyrusOne took the federal-land route directly, at roughly 1,384 acres at Fort Bliss with initial operating capability in FY2027 and at Dugway Proving Ground (1,201 acres, IOC FY2029) respectively.
DigitalBridge quantified the equity intensity of the whole exerciseRoughly $10bn is required to build one gigawatt, about half of it equity.

The five underwriting tests this evidence implies
Read against the 96 project failures in C.1, five distinctions separate the projects that proceeded from those that did not.
Consent risk destroyed $42.2B, 49% of the 2025 cancellation value, making by-right or as-of-right status the highest-value entitlement attribute.
Loudoun's 7-2 repeal of by-right development shows by-right status can be removed retroactively from a jurisdiction, not merely denied to a project.
With roughly 75% of 2000-2020 queue entrants withdrawn by YE2025 and median request-to-COD at 61 months, a queue position should be underwritten as an option, not an asset.
Dominion's 9 GW of construction letters of authorization against a 70 GW delivery-point queue gives the approximate conversion ratio.
The AEP Ohio tariff eliminated roughly 81% of anticipated demand, 30,000 MW to roughly 5,700 MW, through 85% take-or-pay over 12 years, so any project whose economics require avoiding a minimum-demand commitment should be treated as speculative.
Cushman reports roughly 89% of 25.3 GW under construction pre-committed and CBRE 74.3% preleased; speculative construction is now the exception, and at 1% vacancy the reason is supply-side, not demand-side, discipline.
New York's EO 62 with no fixed expiration and Texas's August 3 2026 halt with ERCOT Market Notice M-A080326-01 demonstrate that statewide and ISO-wide pauses can arrive with weeks of notice and cannot be mitigated by in-state site diversification.

Contradictions and unresolved questions in the evidence
Intellectual honesty requires flagging where the fetched sources disagree or fall short.
Aggregate capital-at-risk figures are not reconcilableThe progression $64B to $98B to $156B to roughly $130B mixes windows and definitions across trackers, no fetched source publishes a reconciliation, and none should be inferred.
Moratorium counts differ by a factor of twoDimetrics reports 483 actions across 47 states while ElectricChoice reports 225 across 30 states and explicitly calls it a floor; the gap is definitional, proposed versus adopted and restriction versus moratorium, and neither publishes a crosswalk.
JLL and CBRE measure different universesJLL's 39 GW active North American capacity is not comparable to CBRE's 8,155 MW of primary-market supply or Cushman's 43.4 GW Americas operational, 93.6% US, because the sets include or exclude self-build hyperscale differently, and Data Center Frontier's side-by-side treatment confirms the two lenses are not interchangeable.
Reversals are real and under-trackedMicrosoft's $1B Licking County, Ohio project was cancelled April 8 2025 and restarted in 2026, and CyrusOne's $500M / 600 MW / 280-acre Sangamon County, Illinois project was delayed in November 2025 and approved in April 2026; trackers count the block, few net out the restart, so cumulative totals likely overstate permanent loss.
Whether Microsoft's lease pullback was demand or supply remains unresolvedReports of roughly 2 GW of cancelled leases across the US and Europe are consistent both with softening AI demand and with a shift toward self-build, no fetched source settles it, and record-low vacancy argues against the demand reading.
Private developer disclosure is structurally thinSection A carries n.a. for capex and delayed-site specifics at several private operators, notably H5, Sabey, Prime, and Compass, because they file no periodic reports; their exposure is real but unquantifiable from public evidence.
The claim that roughly half of 2026 US capacity is delayed or cancelled circulated widely and was explicitly contested by SemiAnalysis; the more defensible tracked figure is that of 777 AI factories and large data centers above 50 megawatts representing approximately 190 gigawatts announced since 2024, roughly 16 GW was scheduled to begin operations during 2026 while only about 5 GW was under construction, with 30% to 50% of 2026 capacity expected to slip.
The two independent readings of Microsoft's retrenchment remain unreconciledTD Cowen's 2GW of cancellations and deferrals against SemiAnalysis's position that the figure covers non-binding LOIs, not firm contracts, while Microsoft has roughly 5GW of pre-leased capacity under binding contracts.
Section 07 · The durability test
The durability test
A project scores as durable in the SAVRN framework when it holds at least three of the four control positions: contracted firm power, secured equipment, permanent capital, and non-discretionary entitlement.

Hold at least three of the four and the record says the project gets built. Abilene held all four. Prince William Digital Gateway held two, and $24.7 billion was extinguished. Santa Clara holds three, lacks power, and sits complete and dark.
power
xAI. Built its own generation: a permanent ~1.2 GW simple-cycle plant of 41 turbines permitted in Mississippi in March 2026, alongside temporary turbines and Tesla Megapacks.
Amazon. Contracted 1,920 megawatts of carbon-free nuclear power through 2042 from Talen's Susquehanna plant. The co-location structure was rejected 2-1 by FERC on November 1, 2024, which the atlas calls the clearest demonstration that private-grid control is a regulated privilege rather than a purchased one.
Google. Contracted up to 500 MW of Kairos SMR capacity by 2035 and more than 6,200 megawatts of Texas generation.
CyrusOne. Co-located against Calpine and Constellation generation.
Carlyle (Copia Power). Copia platform held more than 20 gigawatts of generation opportunity before its ~$2.6 billion sale to EQT.
equipment
Nvidia. Position described in Part IV: $6.3 billion of unsold-capacity backstop to 2032, $860M of guaranteed partner lease obligations, $2 billion equity stakes in CoreWeave and Nebius, and a ~$20 billion Groq asset purchase.
Anthropic. Counter-position: multiple gigawatts of next-generation TPU capacity with Google and Broadcom.
Amazon. Counter-position: nearly 1GW total of Trainium2 and Trainium3 capacity coming online by the end of 2026.
IREN. Counter-position: ~$5.8 billion of GPU and equipment purchases from Dell.
capital
Blackstone. $150 billion portfolio and $160 billion pipeline.
BlackRock / GIP and AIP. BlackRock/GIP holds more than $200 billion AUM, and AIP carries a $30 billion mandate scalable up to $100 billion.
Brookfield. More than $1 trillion AUM and a $9.6 billion capital backlog.
KKR. Approximately $34 billion of digital-infrastructure equity across 24 investments and a 12GW pipeline.
Blue Owl. $39 billion digital-infrastructure strategy. Together with the other four managers, the atlas says these balance sheets stand behind most non-hyperscaler capacity it records.
Nvidia (financing platform). Third-party financing platform of over $500 billion that names six of the major capital holders.
delivery
Crusoe. Abilene: 2.1GW across two campuses, phase 1 energized September 2025. Delivery control is defined as entitled land, a signed interconnection agreement and a general contractor.
Vantage. Frontier: over $25 billion, 1,200 acres, 1.4GW in Shackelford County, Texas.
Applied Digital. Five campuses with 1,410MW contracted critical IT load.
STACK. Seven Northern Virginia sites totaling 2,400 MW.
Tract. Pure land-bank optionality: 1 GW Illinois, 2 GW Texas, 1,700 MW Utah. Tract also demonstrates the limit of that model: $30.0B / 1.5 GW cancelled at Mooresville and $14B withdrawn at Goodyear/Buckeye are option premiums paid, not buildings lost.

Section 08 · Method
Method, limits, and what we could not confirm
18402050
Dollar and megawatt figures · 18Dollar figure only · 40Megawatt figure only · 20Neither disclosed · 50
Of 128 capital-at-risk records, only 18 disclose both a dollar and a megawatt figure. Local rezoning dockets disclose acreage and square footage; investment figures come from economic-development announcements a withdrawn project never makes. That is why every dollar total on this page is a floor, and why the atlas records n.a. instead of estimating. 1,994 citations across 88 entities back what is disclosed.
The grounding rule. Every numeric value, date, vote count, megawatt figure, and dollar figure in the report was taken from a web page fetched during the research session that produced it, and carries a markdown link to the specific URL that states it. Where a requested value could not be confirmed from a fetched page, the cell reads n.a. rather than an estimate. No figures were supplied from model memory, including for well-known public companies.
Source hierarchy. Company filings and investor materials were preferred for consolidated and segment financials (Part A financials); issuer press releases and IR pages were preferred for site-level and transaction-level figures. Regulatory dockets, executive orders and ISO/RTO filings were preferred for interconnection and moratorium actions (Part C), and brokerage research reports were preferred for market statistics (Part B). Trade press and tracker aggregations were used where primary documents were unavailable or where the tracker itself is the only entity publishing the aggregate.
What capex means here. Company-reported capex is global, not North America specific, and none of the nine entities discloses a clean North American data center capex line. The report therefore separates (a) audited or reported consolidated capex, (b) forward capex guidance, and (c) the sum of announced site-level North American commitments, which are typically multi-year and overlapping, and flags this distinction explicitly in the summary table. Announced multi-year site commitments across Parts I through VII overlap with one another and with consolidated capex and must never be summed into a single deployment figure; Apple's $500B to $600B total US commitment in particular is not a data center capex figure and should never be added to hyperscaler data center capex.
Evidence base. Research proceeded in two search waves totaling 121 queries and four extraction waves against the resulting URL set, with dedicated aggregator passes for national trackers (Data Center Watch, Dimetrics, ElectricChoice, DataCenterBans, Bommarito, Interconnected Capital), regulatory primary sources (FERC, PUCO, MPSC, ACC, ERCOT, CAISO, PJM, DOE, NY Governor's office), issuer primary sources (SEC filings, investor presentations, supplemental reporting packages, press releases, earnings call transcripts), and brokerage research (JLL, CBRE, Cushman & Wakefield, Newmark, Colliers, Avison Young/datacenterHawk, Green Street). For the NeoCloud section, evidence was gathered in five fetch batches over 98 URLs prioritizing issuer press releases and IR pages, SEC-derived filings summaries, and wire and trade reporting; intermediate extracts (fetch_coreweave.json, fetch_batch2.json through fetch_batch5.json, search1.json through search4.json) are preserved in the workspace alongside the report. This page carries 1,994 source citations; all of them are listed on one page.
Known limitations
Part C (Part IX) dollar and megawatt totals are floors, for the three reasons set out in section C.4 and the reading note to the jurisdiction summary table: most blocked projects never disclose capex, moratoriums have no denominator, and queue positions are not projects.
Aggregate capital-at-risk figures from different trackers ($64B, $98B, $156B, approximately $130B) are successive overlapping snapshots with different windows and definitions; they are not additive and no published reconciliation exists.
Interconnection queue volumes contain substantial duplicate requests and cannot be converted into project counts or capital figures.
Private developer and private-fund financial disclosure is voluntary and incomplete, producing the n.a. entries catalogued in the confirmed-gaps sections (Part A and elsewhere).
Reversals of blocked projects are under-tracked relative to blocks, biasing cumulative loss figures upward.
The report reflects evidence available as of its research date; several matters were unresolved at that time and will change the picture materially: the FERC show cause proceedings due August 17, 2026, the Texas PUCT/ERCOT audit, the New York DPS Generic Environmental Impact Statement, the SoftBank acquisition of DigitalBridge expected in H2 2026, and the reported Vantage and Switch IPO processes.
Announced multi-year site commitments across Parts I through VII overlap with one another and with consolidated capex, and must never be summed into a single deployment figure.
Apple's $500B to $600B total US commitment is not a data center capex figure and should never be added to hyperscaler data center capex.
In Part IX section C.1, roughly two-thirds of the 96 project-level entries carry either a dollar figure or an MW figure but not both, because local rezoning dockets disclose acreage and square footage while investment figures come from economic-development announcements that a withdrawn project never makes.

Section 09 · Questions
Questions this atlas answers
How much capital is committed to North American data centers?
Announced multi-year commitments across hyperscalers, frontier AI labs, NeoClouds, private capital sponsors, and REITs exceed $1.5 trillion on an announced basis. That figure is a scale marker, not a sum: site commitments overlap one another and overlap reported capital expenditure, so the atlas presents them side by side and never adds them into a single deployment number.
How much data center investment has been blocked or delayed?
Independent trackers measured $64 billion blocked or delayed from May 2024 through March 2025, $98 billion in the second quarter of 2025 alone, $156 billion for full-year 2025, and roughly $130 billion across about 75 projects in the first quarter of 2026. The windows and definitions differ between trackers, so the atlas shows the snapshots side by side rather than summing them.
Who finances data centers?
Four financing regimes now coexist. Amazon, Google, and Microsoft fund construction mainly from operating cash flow. Meta uses private-credit joint ventures with residual value guarantees, with Blue Owl and BlackRock. Oracle uses senior notes and site-level project bonds. NeoClouds and xAI use venture equity plus secured debt. Behind all four sits platform equity from sponsors such as Blackstone, BlackRock's GIP, Brookfield, KKR, and Blue Owl.
What is the largest cancelled data center project?
The largest cancelled dollar figure documented is Tract's Mooresville, North Carolina campus, at $30.0 billion and 1.5 gigawatts, cancelled after the municipal utility denied capacity allocation. The largest single loss overall is the Prince William Digital Gateway in Virginia, at $24.7 billion and 2 gigawatts, whose rezonings were voided in 2025 and whose developers withdrew and terminated in 2026.
How often is the Capital Atlas updated?
The atlas is refreshed every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and each refresh publishes a dated update note recording what changed. Every figure links to the public page that states it; where a value could not be confirmed, the entry reads n.a. rather than an estimate.
How is this different from the Delay Watchlist and the Moratorium Tracker?
The three references cover one system from three sides. The Capital Atlas records who committed capital, in what structure, at which site. The Nationwide Data Center Delay Watchlist tracks project-level slippage, queues, and filings. The Moratorium Tracker maps state and local policy measures. Each links into the others.
The SAVRN tracker system
Part XI defines how the atlas feeds the SAVRN tracker system. Parts I through VIII supply the capital-commitment side and Part IX supplies the stoppage record, and the two receiving systems consume both halves: the Delay Watchlist takes project delays, ISO/RTO queue positions, utility actions and SEC disclosures, while the Moratorium Tracker takes the local and state restriction layer. The section closes with the private-grid control map across power, equipment, capital and delivery, and a durability test requiring at least three of four control positions.
