Data centers in Maryland: common questions
- How many data centers are in Maryland?
- More Than Just Parks tracks 42 active data center facilities in Maryland, each citing a public source: 29 operating, 5 under construction and 8 proposed. 18 more were canceled, withdrawn or blocked.
- How much electricity do Maryland'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 Maryland'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 Maryland data centers near protected land?
- 21 of the tracked facilities in Maryland 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.
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.
