Google Mesa
Running (some may still be expanding)
Google Mesa is an AI data center in Mesa, Arizona, developed or operated by Google. Satellite imagery shows its computers drawing about 183 MW today.
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.

Building 2 is operational. This is estimated based on the close-to-complete construction status from May 2026.

Building 2 is close to being operational. There is only construction left on the backup generators, which are almost complete. Some equipment is also strewn around the building, especially near the air-cooled chillers. Preparation seems to have begun for Building 3 at the site.

Building 2 roof is mostly completed. Building 2's backup generators are almost complete, and cooling is a little more than halfway complete. The Building 2 substation is also under construction.

Building 1 is operational. This is based on the state of construction on 2025-03-02 as seen on Google Earth, where building shell and external components seems to have been completed, but there is still a lot of construction equipment present. That equipment appears to have been cleared up by this date, 4 months later, with the 2025-09-07 satellite imagery providing an upper bound. Construction has begun on the Building 2 roof, with work beginning on the areas for cooling and generators as well.

Land clearing begins for the entire site.
No hearings, court cases, approvals or disputes are on record for this project yet.
