Where the world's data centers are, and what is being built

6,017 facilities in 183 countries, run by 2,386 operators. Each one is a row backed by a public source. Megawatts appear only where an operator, developer or regulator has published them.

Equirectangular projection, graticule every 30°. Each dot is one or more of the 2,319 facilities that have published coordinates, merged where they fall within about two pixels of each other. The contour lines trace where mapped facilities are densest: each ring encloses twice the density of the ring outside it. Only 3 of the 581 construction and announced projects have exact coordinates so far, so the pipeline is tracked by country and city on the projects page rather than on the map.
