Status

Building 1 and 2 are operational. The 2nd phase of an offsetting solar array goes online on May 31, 2026. Idaho Public Utilities Comission's approval for this start date notes that "[Meta]’s load is expected to increase so much that it will suffer a capacity deficit in June 2026 if served only by Pleasant Valley Solar 1.1,” A redacted table in the staff comments document suggests the data center's load will continue to increase through August, when it presumably reaches the maximum capacity of both buildings.

Notes

This Idaho site shares its AI-ready design with [Meta Temple](https://epoch.ai/data/data-centers/satellite-explorer/MetaTemple). Two buildings are planned to start use in summer 2026. While Meta has not publicly announced expansion plans, construction and solar offsets suggest an expansion completed around late 2027.
