Aiken, South Carolina, United States
Meta Aiken is an operational AI data center with AI chips owned and used by Meta. It hosts an estimated 147k H100-equivalents of AI compute, supported by 129 MW of IT power at a capital cost of $4.9 B. We estimate that it uses Nvidia B300 chips.
The timeline of IT power and AI compute capacity is based on satellite imagery, our cooling equipment power model, structural similarity to known buildings, chip availability, and chip efficiency.
Announced in August 2024 as a more than $800 million investment, Aiken will be Meta’s 22nd U.S. data center.

Land clearing begins
Buildings 1 and 2 are nearly complete, but there's still some equipment strewn around the site. We expect around 3 more months needed for commissioning and server installation.
Building 1 is confirmed operational via drone imagery with 8/9 group of coolers with spinning fans. Imagery also confirms all cooling and power infrastructure in place for Building 2.
Building 2 is operational assuming a 3 month lag compared to Building 1.
