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in Montana, each citing a public source: 14 operating, 1 under construction and 3 proposed. 6 more were canceled, withdrawn or blocked.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.
