Every milestone
  1. 1 Mar 2024 — Land clearing begins.
  2. 4 Jul 2025 — Building 1 and 2 under construction, with all chillers visible.
  3. 20 Mar 2026 — Buildings 1 and 2 are nearly complete, but there's still some equipment strewn around the site and few cars in the front carpark, so we expect 3 more months needed for commissioning and server installation. Building 3 has a half-finished roof and Building 4 shell is beginning construction. Buildings 5 and 6 are under construction.
  4. 18 Jun 2026 199 MW We estimate Buildings 1 and 2 are operational.
  5. 2 Feb 2027 · projected 266 MW Buildings 5 and 6 are operational (estimate). Based on the tent buildings at Meta Prometheus taking about 12 months from starting the tent structure to estimated operation.
  6. 23 Feb 2027 · projected 465 MW Buildings 3 and 4 are operational (estimate). In September 2025, Building 1 and 2 appeared to be in a similar state to Building 3 and 4 in May 2026. Based on that, we apply an 8-month delay to the Building 1 and 2 operational date to get the Building 3 and 4 operational date.
