Release integrity

Every CSV supplied on request is built from one release and carries its release ID. Later releases never alter a file already delivered. Corrections ship as a new release with a new identifier and checksum.

Release IDglobal-public-source-v22-research-2026-11-06

Complete CSV SHA-2566d32b3cb4c012144d67a9029a1463e92a8ee6eda7b5c4641ea1f8c2aa767a774

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

shasum -a 256 global-public-source-v22-research-2026-11-06.csv
certutil -hashfile global-public-source-v22-research-2026-11-06.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, as the source spells it.
operator_canonicalThe operator's canonical company name: spelling variants and wholly owned brands grouped under one name. Company totals use it.
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 whether liquid cooling is in place: yes, no, or blank when not known. Planned or merely available liquid cooling is described in cooling_description.
renewable_energy_noteRenewable-energy share or note.
accelerator_vendor / _model / _count / _noteAvailable AI accelerator facts.

On-site generation (behind the meter)

FieldMeaning
has_btmWhether generating plant is documented at or dedicated to the site: yes or no. Blank means the facility has not been assessed, not that it has no on-site generation.
btm_primary_typeThe generation technology or energy source, e.g. a natural-gas fuel cell or reciprocating engine.
btm_supply_roleWhat the plant supplies: primary, partial, supplemental, backup, contractual or unknown.
btm_capacity_mwPlant-specific generating capacity in MW, only when a source states installed nameplate or design net output.
btm_statusWhether the arrangement counts as behind-the-meter supply: confirmed_btm, annotation_only, pending_review or rejected_market_based.
btm_last_verified_at / btm_source_urlWhen the on-site generation was last verified, and the source it rests on.

Sources

FieldMeaning
primary_source_urlThe single main public reference selected for the facility, when eligible. It may not support every individual attribute.
primary_source_accessed_atDate when the primary source page was accessed.

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.
