OpenAI Stargate Milam
Being built
OpenAI Stargate Milam is an AI data center in Milam County, Texas, developed or operated by SoftBank for OpenAI. Satellite imagery shows nothing running yet, against 857 MW 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.

All buildings finished, site is fully operational. Our reasoning is that examples so far take a median of 2-2.5 years to go from land clearing to 1 GW. This suggests around 2028-01-01 here. However, due to delays being more likely than speedups and the fact that this base rate data is still unproven, the more conservative estimate is made. The current state of the site also supports this estimation.
