Project timeline
Source notes reproduced from Epoch AI. Future projections are excluded. Status may have changed since the latest observation.
Building 3 expected to come online sometime around August 2026, since in the May satellite image it appeared structurally complete with minimal construction surrounding it. Basing MW estimate using Building 2 as a reference.
Buildings 1 and 2 visibly complete and operational. Building 3 appears complete and may be commissioning, but it's likely not operational yet given the immediate surrounding construction work. Several additional building shells and pads are still in construction, but none are assumed operational due to all the construction work visible. This is based on satellite imagery from this date.
The SRBC increases approved water use from 0.060 MGD to 0.129 MGD. This supports that some expansion is happening, but does not explicitly prove a third operational building.
Building 2 operational estimate. This is based on the progress visible in the September 2025 image. The DEP also issues an air plan approval to add 48 more emergency generators on this date.
Building 1 operational estimate. According to Google Earth Satellite Imagery from this date, Building 1 appears structurally complete and likely operational, while Building 2 is still missing two generators.
Building 1 fit out and related construction begins under Amazon, based on the Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) schedule.
AWS acquires the Cumulus/Talen building campus for $650M.
Cumulus completes a 48 MW, 300,000 sq ft powered shell for the first data center at the Susquehanna campus. The shell is available for lease, with the campus still awaiting its first tenant and commercial operations.
Land clearing begins. Talen Energy reported on July 12, 2021 that site-preparation permits had already been obtained and site work was underway, while permits for construction of the first building were still being pursued. We model land clearing as starting from the beginning of the month.
