ComputeCompute's records are currently being gathered and analyzed. We expect this work to be complete by September 18, 2026.
Compute the Compute
A public record of data centers and the government approvals behind them
ComputeCompute tracks the government decisions behind every data center in the United States: the body that approved each site, the water district that agreed to serve it, the air district that permitted its generators, the utility that accepted its interconnection, and the subsidies offered in return.
1,523 facilities 89 with disclosed metrics 55 approvals on record 43 with estimated emissions
The observatory
Facilities on the public record, mapped by state. Every state with a facility on record is live; more join as records land.
International
The tracks
Five questions the record is organized around.
Subsidies
What did the public offer, and what was promised in return?
Power and water
What does each facility draw, who agreed to supply it, and what approvals does that demand set in motion?
Siting
Which body approved each site, and under what conditions?
Operators
Who holds each approval, and who uses the capacity?
Disclosure
What was released, and what was withheld?
The oversight score
A per-jurisdiction score of which oversight structures exist for data centers is in progress: whether a siting authority, a water agreement, an air permit, and a disclosure requirement are on record for each place data centers operate.
Each fact on this site is recorded against one of four status values: on record pending not disclosed not yet requested.
The score model itself is in progress. Each facility page reports approval status directly today.
