Meta committed to build $70M water and sewer system donated to city of Kuna per Construction Equipment Guide (sourceIndex 1). Note: Idaho Business Review (sourceIndex 2) cites a '$100M water treatment facility', figures may reflect different project phases or scopes. Idaho sales-tax exemption on construction materials and server equipment applies.
Power and water
100% renewable energy committed; Meta adding 200 MW of renewable energy to Idaho grid as part of project
Notes on the record
960,000 sq ft campus (Meta's 15th US data center). Originally Project Peregrine. Construction paused December 2022, restarted October 2023 with AI-optimized architecture; new design 31% cheaper and half the build time. Peak construction employed 1,400 workers. Expected operational end of 2026. Water infrastructure cost sourced to CEG ($70M) but Idaho Business Review cites $100M, discrepancy unresolved; use CEG figure as primary. Coordinates are Kuna city centroid; exact site is west of city center. As of December 2025, the campus was in the "final stages" of construction; local reporting notes power demand will not be clear until the site comes online.
What the record does not establish, and the document that would
In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.
- Power capacity in megawatts
- Cooling method and water use
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
Which document closes each gap
- Power capacity in megawatts
- The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
- Cooling method and water use
- The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.

Distances are between recorded coordinates, many of which are a city or county centroid, so treat them as approximate. Cumulative load on one utility and one aquifer is the question a planning commission rarely asks.
