Meta Aiken
Running (some may still be expanding)
Meta Aiken is an AI data center in Trenton, South Carolina, developed or operated by Meta for Meta. Satellite imagery shows its computers drawing about 129 MW today.
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.
- Nov 5, 2026Satellite analysis by Epoch AI · 129 MW in use
Building 2 is operational assuming a 3 month lag compared to Building 1.
- Aug 7, 2026Satellite analysis by Epoch AI · 69 MW in use
Building 1 is confirmed operational via drone imagery with 8/9 group of coolers with spinning fans. Imagery also confirms all cooling and power infrastructure in place for Building 2.
- Apr 8, 2026Satellite analysis by Epoch AI · 0 MW in use
Buildings 1 and 2 are nearly complete, but there's still some equipment strewn around the site. We expect around 3 more months needed for commissioning and server installation.
