US Data Center Pipeline by Development Stage & Regional Investment
Of the 2,357 upcoming U.S. data center projects tracked, 22% are on-going or under construction, 61% are in planning, 5% in pre-construction and 12% in early development (announced, design and contract stages). The active-construction segment alone represents 63.9 GW of capacity and $1.86T in committed expenditure.
Texas, Ohio and Virginia lead U.S. data center investment by committed capital, accounting for 39% of total tracked CapEx. Texas holds the largest position with $1.16T across 436 projects, followed by Ohio ($632.4B) and Virginia ($528B).
By planned capacity, Texas, Utah and Virginia are the largest markets, together representing 45% of total tracked MW. Texas alone has 65.6 GW of committed pipeline, with Utah adding 32.1 GW and Virginia at 17.3 GW.
The highest average investment per project is recorded in New Mexico, Louisiana and Wyoming, at $10.4B, $10B and $8.4B per project respectively, indicating concentrated hyperscaler or utility-scale activity in these markets.
At the lower end of the investment scale, New Hampshire, Hawaii and Rhode Island show smaller average project sizes (as low as $450M per project), which typically reflects early-stage permitting activity, edge deployments, or co-location expansions rather than greenfield hyperscale builds.
1 state currently have no publicly tracked project data in this view. Blackridge Research maintains private intelligence on data center activity across all 50 states including pre-permit inquiries, land acquisitions, and utility interconnection filings not captured in public records. to access the full dataset.

Data Center Bids, RFPs and Construction Contracts
Most data center bid opportunities never reach a public tender portal. We follow each project from the first site plan filed with the planning commission through to the general contractor award, so estimating and business development teams can qualify work months before an RFP is issued.
Bid Opportunities & RFPs
Open data center RFPs, requests for proposal, and tenders across the US, tagged by scope, deadline, and issuing owner.
Contract Awards
See which general contractors are bidding data center projects and who won, across EPC, civil, electrical, and mechanical packages.
Permits & Power Agreements
County permit filings, planning commission approvals, and utility power agreements, the earliest reliable signal a hyperscale site is real.
Preconstruction Intelligence
Data center preconstruction services teams size the pipeline by market and reach owners before the shortlist closes.
Coverage runs from national EPC contracts down to single subcontract packages: sitework and clearing, concrete and paving, structural steel, switchgear, and mechanical fit-out.

FAQ
Questions US Teams Ask
It's a continuously updated database of data center projects across the US - covering planning, permitting, construction, and commissioning - so you can find opportunities and verified contacts without doing the research yourself.
Capex varies widely by size, region, and specification, from tens of millions for a small edge facility to well over a billion dollars for a hyperscale campus. Land, power infrastructure, and cooling technology are the biggest cost drivers. The tracker includes capex figures where publicly available for each project.
From site selection to commissioning, a typical US data center project takes 2-4 years, depending on entitlement complexity, utility interconnection queues, and equipment lead times. Power availability is usually the longest pole in the tent, not construction itself.
Individual facilities range from a few megawatts to 100+ MW for hyperscale campuses, with some announced projects exceeding 1 GW in phased capacity. The tracker records planned and contracted MW for each project so you can size the pipeline by market.
The grid operator determines interconnection timelines, power pricing, and how quickly a project can secure capacity. ERCOT (Texas) generally offers faster interconnection but less grid reliability oversight; PJM (mid-Atlantic/Midwest) has deeper capacity but longer, more congested queues. Knowing which ISO a project sits in tells you how real - and how fast - it actually is.
All 50 states. Coverage is heaviest in the established hubs - Virginia, Texas, Ohio, Arizona, Georgia - but the tracker follows the pipeline everywhere new capacity is being planned, including emerging secondary markets.
Request a trial and get full access to the platform for a limited period - no credit card required upfront. You can search, filter, and export project data to evaluate fit before committing to a plan.
Immediately after your trial or subscription is activated - there's no onboarding delay or implementation project. Log in, filter to your target states or stages, and start working the pipeline the same day.
Our tracker currently follows 2,300+ US data center projects across all 50 states, from early planning through active construction. The number moves every week as new sites are announced, permits are filed, and completed facilities are commissioned, so the live figure is always shown in the stats above the map. The development-stage chart splits that total, so you can see how many are under construction right now and how many are still planned or proposed.
Any facility development we can verify against a primary source: a new build, a campus expansion, a phased hyperscale buildout, a colocation retrofit, or a data center modernization program. Every record carries an owner, location, MW capacity, capex, development stage, and the filings behind it.
Filter the pipeline to projects in planning, permitting, or bidding, then work the verified owner and developer contacts attached to each record. Most data center RFPs go to a shortlist rather than a public portal, so the reliable route to a bid is reaching the owner while the project is still pre-tender. Records also show which general, electrical, and mechanical contractors have already won work, which tells you who you are bidding against in each market.
Proposed projects have been announced or filed but hold no entitlements yet. Planned projects have site control and are moving through zoning and permitting. Under construction means ground has been broken and contractors are mobilized. Every project carries one of these stages, so you can separate real pipeline from press releases.
Yes. County and municipal permit filings, planning commission agendas, site plan approvals, and utility power agreements are indexed against each project. These are usually the first public confirmation that a hyperscale data center site is moving, often months ahead of any announcement.
Sort the pipeline by MW capacity or capex to rank them. The biggest US campuses are phased multi-gigawatt developments concentrated in Virginia, Texas, Georgia, Ohio, and Arizona, though single sites above 1 GW now appear in emerging secondary markets too.
Yes. Projects stay in the tracker after commissioning and move to Operational, so you can follow construction starts, completions, and new capacity coming online in the US, and see which developers are delivering on schedule.
We track 256 GW of capacity across 2,357 upcoming US data center projects, from early planning through active construction.
Upcoming US data center projects carry $5.94T in announced capital expenditure. Texas ($1.16T), Ohio ($632.4B) and Virginia ($528B) hold 39% of it.
Texas leads with 436 upcoming data center projects, followed by Virginia (300) and Pennsylvania (193).
507 US data center projects are in active construction, representing 63.9 GW of capacity and $1.86T in expenditure.
1,723 US data center projects are still in planning, design or procurement. This is when owners pick contractors and suppliers, so it is the best time to get on a bid list.
By number of upcoming US projects: Amazon Web Services, Inc. (66), Microsoft Corporation (47), Prologis (40), Gotspace Data Partners, LLC (29) and PowerHouse Hillwood Holding LLC (29).
Across upcoming US projects the average is $2.5B per project, from $20M in New Hampshire to $10.4B in New Mexico. Hyperscale campuses push the average up; edge and colocation builds pull it down.
Blackridge Research analysts verify each project against primary sources: county permits, planning commission agendas, utility filings and company announcements. The database is updated daily and the figures on this page are pulled live from it.
