How many data centers are in Minnesota?

More Than Just Parks tracks 71 active data center facilities in Minnesota, each citing a public source: 56 operating, 3 under construction and 12 proposed. 14 more were canceled, withdrawn, suspended or blocked.

How much electricity do Minnesota's data centers use?

We don’t publish a state total, and the reason matters: about seven in ten facilities here never disclose a capacity, so any sum would look like a census of Minnesota'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 Minnesota data centers near protected land?

48 of the tracked facilities in Minnesota 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; 2 sit within a single mile.
