Meta Plans $1 Billion Ai Data Center in Beaver Dam
Meta's $1 billion AI data center in Beaver Dam will create 1,000 construction jobs and 100 permanent roles with $200 million invested in energy upgrades.
- On Wednesday, Meta announced plans to build a $1 billion artificial intelligence data center in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, at Alliant Energy's Beaver Dam Commerce Park, aiming to open in 2027 with over 100 jobs.
- Officials say Beaver Dam, Wisconsin was chosen for its strong infrastructure, electrical grid, talent pool, and community partners, while WEDC noted the Commerce Park's prior certification and local planning.
- Meta will underwrite nearly $200 million in energy upgrades, pledging to match 100% renewable electricity, restore 100% of water used, and restore 570 acres of wetland including 175 acres to Ducks Unlimited.
- WEDC expects about 1,000 construction jobs and roughly 100 local full-time roles, while Beaver Dam residents and environmental advocates protested over wetland concerns, calling it `That’s greenwashing, as best I can tell.`
- This follows last month’s Port Washington announcement from Oracle and OpenAI, and Meta's Beaver Dam site, its 30th data center globally, reflects years of planning with Alliant Energy and WEDC.
