Project timeline
Source notes reproduced from Epoch AI. Future projections are excluded. Status may have changed since the latest observation.
Building 12 is operational, based on similar building completion timeframes by Vantage.
Building 7-11 (Meta tents) are operational. In January we saw them look almost complete, with some work still ongoing for power equipment. Assuming 3 more months for commissioning, we expect operation by May.
The Socrates South power plant to the right of Buildings 7-11 now has 10 natural gas turbines in place, judging by the number of exhaust stacks. Battery backup has been installed nearby. To the north, a new section of tent buildings has begun east of Buildings 15-19. It is unclear how those buildings will be powered, if we assume that the Socrates North power plant is just powering Buildings 15-19.
Buildings 2-6 are operational, based on all equipment being in place, the paved ground, and minimal construction equipment by the buildings. Buildings 7-11 all have some kind of power or cooling equipment lining their right side which are not fully installed. Building 13 has chillers installed. Buildings 15-19 roofs are complete. The Socrates South power plant to the right of Buildings 7-11 has 7 gas turbines in place, judging by the exhaust stacks.
Building 1 is operational, based on there being minimal construction work and cars in the main carpark. Building 2 still has some construction work around the building. Building 15 roof is complete. The on-site power at Socrates South and Socrates North has some outlines of gas turbines, to be installed later.
Building 4 operational. Based on our default estimate of roof-to-operational time.
Roof complete on Building 5 (QTS-owned). In the northernmost area, land clearing begins on a new Meta site for Buildings 15-19. Building 1 still has construction work around the building and cooling equipment, so it's unlikely to be operational.
Land clearing begins for Building 1-2
