Every milestone
  1. 24 Jul 2024 — Land clearing starts for new building.
  2. 1 Mar 2026 114 MW Building 1 is operational, based on no construction activity around the shell and cooling equipment, and about 5 months passing after structural completion.
  3. 28 Jul 2026 114 MW Building 2 (a tent-like building) shell is complete, but we don't believe it's operational because there is unpaved ground, no cars parked right in front, the first tent buildings at Meta Prometheus took about 16 months (it's been 10 months for this building). North-west of Building 1, the outline of a building of similar dimensions and style to Meta Jeffersonville's Building 1 is visible, this is labeled as Building 3. West of Building 1 we see more land clearing for what could be a building similar to Meta Jeffersonville's Building 2.
  4. 26 Oct 2026 · projected 147 MW Building 2 (a tent like building) is operational. Based on a default estimate of 3 months for fit-out after structural completion in July.
  5. 1 Jan 2028 · projected 273 MW Building 3 is estimated to be operational. This is estimated from the timeline of similar buildings at other Meta sites.
