Meta Huntsville

Huntsville, Alabama, United States

Meta Huntsville is an operational AI data center with AI chips owned and used by Meta. It hosts an estimated 167k H100-equivalents of compute, supported by 146 MW of IT power at a capital cost of $5.5 B. We estimate that it uses Nvidia B300 chips.

The timeline of IT power and compute capacity is based on satellite imagery, our cooling equipment power model, chip efficiency, and chip availability.

The entire Meta facility is supported by two local solar installations: Lawrence County Solar Project and Elora Solar project, totaling 377MW.

Building 1 land clearing begins.

Building 2 roof starts to go on and its cooling installation is in progress.

We believe Building 1 and 2 are still being finished due to continued construction vehicles and unfinished land around the data center sites.

Color artifacts appear on small number of Building 1 fans. Continued presence of construction equipment and unfinished land around Building 2 suggests the final phase of construction.

We estimate that Building 1 is operational 30 days after the appearance of color artifacts on the fans.

We estimate Building 2 becomes operational due to being 120 days after final phases of construction, 9 months since roof and cooling were done, and similar Meta data centers construction timelines.
