CoreWeave Chester VA
Running (some may still be expanding)
CoreWeave Chester VA is an AI data center in Chester, Virginia, developed or operated by CoreWeave for OpenAI. Satellite imagery shows its computers drawing about 82 MW today, against 113 MW planned.
U.S. average: 18.2¢ (+3.4%).

Satellite figures are Epoch AI estimates from imagery of buildings, cooling and power equipment; about 80% fall within a factor of 1.4 of the true value.
- Jun 30, 2027ScheduledSatellite analysis by Epoch AI · 113 MW planned
Buildings 3 is estimated complete by the end of Q1 2027, based on the current PowerHouse schedule. Added another three months to account for commissioning and server installation.
- May 20, 2026Satellite analysis by Epoch AI · 82 MW in use
Based on satellite imagery, Building 3 has cleared its land and is beginning construction. Building 2 is operational judging from the colored motion artifacts on the cooling tower fans.
- Jan 22, 2025Satellite analysis by Epoch AI · 27 MW in use
Satellite imagery shows Building 1 complete, with Building 2's yard work and early construction visible. Building 3 hasn't started yet, since the old building is still there.
- Apr 30, 2024Satellite analysis by Epoch AI · 27 MW in use
Building 1 is scheduled to be fully online by this point, so we count the full 27 MW as operational here.
- Jan 31, 2024Satellite analysis by Epoch AI · 18 MW in use
Building 1's second data hall scheduled to come online this month.
- Sep 18, 2023Satellite analysis by Epoch AI · 0 MW in use
Conversion starts at CTP-01 (Building 1). The data center was formerly owned by Capital One, now leased to CoreWeave. Source: datacenterdynamics.com
