Overview

Meta’s July 2026 newsroom post said the company is expanding its Richland Parish, Louisiana, data center to 5 GW of compute capacity. Meta said local Louisiana businesses have received more than $1.6 billion in contracts since groundbreaking in December 2024, that the expansion includes more than $1 billion in local infrastructure improvements, and that the data center will provide more than 1,000 roles once operational in a community of about 20,000 people. The same post said the expansion is an investment of more than $50 billion and that a recent Entergy agreement is expected to save Entergy Louisiana customers more than $2 billion over 20 years, on top of $650 million from the first agreement, while funding seven new natural-gas plants, three grid-scale batteries, and nuclear uprates. Louisiana Economic Development reported the same more-than-$50 billion commitment, expanding the campus to nearly 10 million square feet and 5 GW of IT capacity as home to Hyperion, described as Meta’s largest AI training cluster and the largest facility in Meta’s global fleet. LED said the project is expected to support 7,500 construction jobs at peak and about 1,000 operational jobs. Meta’s October 21, 2025, newsroom post said funds managed by Blue Owl Capital own an 80 percent interest in a joint venture that will develop and own Hyperion, with Meta retaining 20 percent and the parties committing their pro rata share of about $27 billion in development costs. Entergy Louisiana said the Louisiana Public Service Commission approved an agreement allowing three combined-cycle plants, two of them in Richland Parish expected online in late 2028, plus transmission to serve Meta’s campus.

The public map lists 10 map records. Reported campus capacity is 3,421 MW. All 10 buildings are planned.
