Goodnight
Being built
Goodnight is an AI data center in Claude, Texas, developed or operated by Google for Google DeepMind. Satellite imagery shows nothing running yet, against 1 GW 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.

6 buildings are operational. This is based on: 1. A regulatory filing for Building 6 with a completion date of 2027-07-30. Normally there is a follow-up filing for "tenant improvement" which involves building the interior, with a completion date 1-3 months after the initial filing. 2. A project deadline of EOY 2027 in the original tax abatement agreement 3. The similar 8-building project in Abilene taking an estimated 2 years and 2 months.

Building 2 operational. The completion date for Building 2 Tenant Improvement is 2026-11-07, about 2 months later than Building 1. We therefore add 2 months to the Building 1 operational date.

Building 1 operational. This regulatory document lists the completion date for Building 1 as 2026-09-12, the current status suggests this estimate will not be met. Based on the timeline seen at the Abilene,Texas site for the same building styles and the most recent imaged status, we estimate operability to occur 6 months after the state seen in Sept 2026.

Progress is made on all buildings, Building 1 and 2 specically have begun to install cooling structures. The substation expansion seems to be nearing completion.

Construction on Building 1 and 2 looks about halfway to completion. Foundations and utility trenches are visible for Building 3-4. Building 5-6 have an outline. The substation appears to be expanding.
