Record Notes
Meta's official DeKalb Data Center article says the DeKalb facility is serving traffic and is part of Meta's global infrastructure. Meta says the facility will support more than 200 jobs once fully operational and represents more than $1B of investment in Illinois. The same official source says the DeKalb Data Center is supported by 100% renewable energy and that two projects in DeWitt and Morgan counties are adding 300 MW of renewable energy in Illinois.
ADCI removes the legacy 800 MW selected capacity and the Cortland AI-training-campus framing. The opened official sources support an operational Meta DeKalb Data Center, investment, jobs, and renewable-energy context, but they do not disclose facility MW, IT load, or a Cortland Llama training campus.
