According to a report by The Information, Meta Platforms is in discussions to build a new data center campus dedicated to its artificial intelligence projects, with potential costs exceeding $200 billion.
Sources familiar with the matter say that Meta executives have briefed data center developers on the possibility of locating the campus in states such as Louisiana, Wyoming, or Texas, with senior leaders having visited potential sites this month.
The report comes as investment in AI infrastructure continues to surge following the launch of Microsoft-backed OpenAI’s ChatGPT in 2022. As companies worldwide strive to integrate AI into their products and services, the race to expand data center capacity has intensified.
However, a Meta spokesperson denied the report, stating that the company’s current data center plans and capital expenditures have already been disclosed, adding that any figures beyond those commitments are "pure speculation." This comes on the heels of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s recent announcement that the company intends to spend up to $65 billion this year to expand its AI infrastructure.
In comparison, Microsoft is planning to invest about $80 billion in data center development for fiscal 2025, while Amazon has indicated that its 2025 spending on similar initiatives will exceed the $75 billion estimated in 2024.
If Meta were to proceed with a project of this scale, it would mark a dramatic increase in investment over its publicly stated plans, potentially reshaping the competitive landscape for AI infrastructure. As the tech industry watches closely, the final decision and scope of Meta’s initiative remain to be seen.
