Pipeline register
Every announced campus of 500 MW or more, with status, power, tenant, financing and an evidence grade.
No campus rows are approved for publication yet. The Global AI Datacentre Pipeline register is curated by the analyst: a campus enters once its sources are checked, its evidence is graded and the row is approved. Each row will show the campus, its location and region, developer and tenant, planned gigawatts, power source, target date, status (announced, approved, financed, under construction, energised) and the evidence grade, linked to the filing, permit or announcement behind it.
