How to read this US data center map

Each pin is one tracked project, placed at its published site or, where the exact parcel hasn’t been made public, at the town or county center. Color shows where it stands: purple for rumored, amber for proposed, blue for approved, orange for under construction, green for operating, gray for paused, red for cancelled and magenta for denied, matching the legend. Use the filters above to show only the stages you care about — for example, only what is actually being built right now — then click a pin to open the full record with capacity, water, power, votes and sources.
