Data centers in Maine: common questions

How many data centers are in Maine?
More Than Just Parks tracks 12 active data center facilities in Maine, each citing a public source: 10 operating, 0 under construction and 2 proposed. 7 more were canceled, withdrawn or blocked.
How much electricity do Maine's data centers use?
We don’t publish a state total, and the reason matters: roughly four in ten facilities never disclose a capacity, so any sum would look like a census of Maine'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 Maine data centers near protected land?
7 of the tracked facilities in Maine 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; 0 sit within a single mile.

An email when a data center lands in the record here, proposed, breaking ground or stopped, with its size and how close it sits to protected land.

Every facility on this page cites a public record we can link to: industry reporting, facility trackers, company announcements, and local planning and utility filings, cross-referenced against protected public land. Part of the Data Center Tracker from More Than Just Parks. A row prints a capacity only where its own source states one.
