Google Fort Wayne
Being built
Google Fort Wayne is an AI data center in Fort Wayne, Indiana, developed or operated by Google for Google DeepMind. Satellite imagery shows nothing running yet, against 863 MW planned.
U.S. average: 18.2¢ (+3.4%).

Building 2 has all cooling towers installed and is likely undergoing fit-out and commissioning. So we give it about 3 more months until it's operational. Building 3 appears to be slightly further than Building 2 was in March, so we estimate a 4-month lag.

The cooling towers for Buildings 2 and 3 are both a little less than half done and the buildings still look like active construction sites.

After a long quiet period they've laid foundations for Building 2 and the substation.

Roof complete on Building 1 (the 'H'), although we suspect this building is not for AI compute due to the construction speed, irregular design, and lack of external cooling.
