Interactive map catalogs 1,416 US data centers built or approved by 2025
Business Insider released an updated interactive map showing 1,416 data centers built or approved as of the end of 2025 across 45 states and Washington, DC, with Virginia as the historic hub and new hotspots in West Texas, near Cheyenne, Wyoming, and rural Wisconsin. The map links each facility to issued air permits through December 2025, offers searchable and sortable data by address, county, state, ZIP code, and corporate parent, and displays estimated electricity use. The article notes caveats in its methodology and ongoing industry debates (e.g., Meta’s higher count) about how power use is estimated from permits, and describes this as an updated version of last year’s map.
