Data centers in Montana: common questions
- How many data centers are in Montana?
- More Than Just Parks tracks 18 active data center facilities in Montana, each citing a public source: 14 operating, 1 under construction and 3 proposed. 6 more were canceled, withdrawn or blocked.
- How much electricity do Montana'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 Montana'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 Montana data centers near protected land?
- 12 of the tracked facilities in Montana 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.
