Google Lincoln
Running (some may still be expanding)
Google Lincoln is an AI data center in Lincoln, Nebraska, developed or operated by Google. Satellite imagery shows its computers drawing about 141 MW today, against 283 MW planned.
U.S. average: 18.2¢ (+3.4%).
Statewide context, not this project’s effect: prices move for many reasons. Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration.
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.

Building 2 operational. Estimated based on the construction timeline for Building 1, specifically the time to operational since the roof was complete and the time to operational since the foundation work began.
- May 12, 2026Satellite analysis by Epoch AI · 141 MW in use
Building 1 operational. This is based on the fact that is no more visible equipment or construction around the building, and based on previous imagery and when construction started on the last pieces of equipment (fans). Building 2's roof is complete, with generator construction more than halfway complete and cooling construction beginning. Electrical equipment on the side of Building 2 is also around halfway complete.

Building 1 looks mostly complete: the large items like generators and substation are done. It is just missing 2 more cooling towers (4 fans). They just seem to be paving and setting up the secondary equipment so it is probably a few months away from operation. Building 2 foundation has been laid.
