Omaha, Nebraska, United States
Google Omaha is an operational AI data center with AI chips owned by Google and used by Google DeepMind (speculative). It hosts an estimated 268k H100-equivalents of compute, supported by 237 MW of IT power at a capital cost of $9.0 B. In Q3 2028, we project it to rise to 1,137k H100-eq compute, 395 MW IT power and a cost of $15.0 B. We estimate that it uses Google TPU v5e, Google TPU v5p, and Google TPU v6e chips.
The timeline of IT power and compute capacity is based on satellite imagery, our cooling equipment power model, regulatory filings, chip availability, and chip efficiency.

Land clearing begins.
Building 1 operational, based on it being 6 months after roof was complete, infrastructure looked complete for 5 months.
Building 2 has 3 cooling towers installed.
Building 2 is operational, based on it being 8 months since the roof was complete, and surrounding infrastructure looks just completed (finishing the cooling towers).
Confirmation that there's no obvious construction happening for Building 2. Building 3 roof started.
Confident that Building 2 is operational
Building 3 has all backup generators in place but they are still being installed. Two cooling towers have fans on them, with more underway. To the south of Building 3, more land has been cleared and there's a new carpark. This suggests another building will soon start construction.
Building 3 appears almost complete, with only minimal construction work and equipment remaining. The cooling towers are spaced apart in an unusual way, but there's no obvious sign that more will be installed before operation. Buildings 4 and 5 haven't started construction yet, the cleared land is still empty.
Building 3 is operational (estimate). Based on there being minimal construction work as of May 15.
Building 4 is operational. Expect a 4th building because there's enough land cleared for it. Assuming the foundation starts at the end of May 2026 and it takes a similar time to Building 3 from foundation to operational (1 year 8 months).
Building 5 is operational. We expect a 5th building because there's enough land cleared for one. We assume a roughly 6-month delay after Building 4.
