Record Notes

Meta's public Virginia data-center record is the Henrico Data Center, not an Ashburn campus. Meta lists Henrico, Virginia in its U.S. data-center fleet with more than $1 billion of investment, 2017 groundbreaking, 1,500 skilled-trade workers at peak construction, and 200+ operational jobs supported once completed. Meta announced in August 2020 that the Henrico Data Center was serving traffic, and VEDP identifies the campus with White Oak Technology Park in Henrico County. Meta says the Henrico Data Center's electricity use is matched with 100% clean and renewable energy and that Meta-backed projects are adding new renewable energy in Virginia. ADCI demotes selected public facility capacity to unknown because the verified source set does not publish Henrico data-center MW capacity. The legacy route slug still says Ashburn and should be migrated separately.
