Release integrity

Every complete CSV is bound to one immutable release. A release that has been sold is never edited in place: corrections ship as a new release with a new identifier and a new checksum, so the file you bought stays byte-for-byte reproducible for as long as you keep it.

Complete CSV SHA-256d05679dc66820a7a6ab89d469469e94b31e698cf1ebb2c814cb321f3b2b9d6ab

After downloading, verify the file against the checksum above before you load it:

shasum -a 256 global-public-source-v4-preview-2026-09-12.csv
certutil -hashfile global-public-source-v4-preview-2026-09-12.csv SHA256

The first command is macOS and Linux, the second is Windows. A mismatch means the download was truncated or altered in transit, which is a delivery failure: request a re-issue rather than working from the file.

Identity and location

FieldMeaning
facility_idStable release identifier for the facility.
facility_name / operatorFacility or campus name and its operator/company.
country / region / cityLocation components at the approved city-level precision.
facility_typeColocation, hyperscale, enterprise, or another available type.
statusOperating, construction, planning, or status not specified.
yearCommissioning or reference year when available.

Facility power

FieldMeaning
facility_power_mwFacility or campus power in MW under the source definition; not annual electricity consumption.
ultimate_capacity_mwAnnounced capacity at full build-out, in MW, where a source states one separately from the capacity in service. Present in the complete dataset only. It is never added into facility_power_mw or into any stage total, because it describes a later phase rather than a current one.
ultimate_capacity_stageThe stage of the un-built remainder behind ultimate_capacity_mw: construction when works are underway, planned when only announced or permitted, unspecified when the source does not say. Expansion phases often exist as their own rows, so this remainder is deliberately not summed into any stage total.

Power density

FieldMeaning
rack_power_density_kwPower density per rack, in kW per rack.
area_power_density_value / _unitArea-based power density with its original unit.

Scale and operations

FieldMeaning
building_area_sqm / whitespace_area_sqmTotal building area and IT white-space area, in square metres.
rack_countNumber of racks when available.
puePower usage effectiveness when available.
cooling_description / liquid_coolingCooling approach and liquid-cooling information.
renewable_energy_noteRenewable-energy share or note.
accelerator_vendor / _model / _count / _noteAvailable AI accelerator facts.

Sources

FieldMeaning
source_urlPrimary public page associated with the facility.
*_source_urlPublic page associated with a specific fact, when available.
source_typeGeneral source category.
source_accessed_atDate when the source page was accessed.
*_evidence_levelEvidence level for the adjacent value in the complete dataset: verified against a public source, publicly reported by a single source, or carried from the upstream inventory pending verification.

Missing values

Blank means no value is available in this release. It does not mean zero.

Excluded website fields

The website does not display internal review labels, annual electricity, emissions, emissions factors, modeled AI share, street addresses, or coordinates.
