A new report from Cleanview identifies 46 data centers with a combined capacity of 56 GW that plan to build their own power “behind-the-meter.”
That represents roughly 30% of all planned data center capacity in the United States, according to Cleanview’s project tracker.
“In the last year, this trend has gone from niche to mainstream. 90% of the projects we identified—representing approximately 50 GW—were announced in 2025 alone,” wrote Michael Thomas, CEO of Cleanview, in a summary of the report.
