How many data centers are in Colorado?

More Than Just Parks tracks 98 active data center facilities in Colorado, each citing a public source: 84 operating, 7 under construction and 7 proposed. 5 more were canceled, withdrawn, suspended or blocked.

How much electricity do Colorado's data centers use?

We don’t publish a state total, and the reason matters: about six in ten facilities here never disclose a capacity, so any sum would look like a census of Colorado's data center load while leaving out the sites that stayed quiet. Each facility page shows the figure its own source states. A single large campus can draw as much power as a small city.

Are Colorado data centers near protected land?

73 of the tracked facilities in Colorado sit within 10 miles of protected public land, measured to the real boundary of the nearest national park, wilderness area, wildlife refuge or conservation area; none sit within a single mile.
