Overview
- Mark Zuckerberg said Meta targets tens of gigawatts of capacity this decade and hundreds of gigawatts over time.
- The initiative will be led by infrastructure chief Santosh Janardhan and AI executive Daniel Gross, reporting directly to Zuckerberg.
- Dina Powell McCormick was tasked with securing government and sovereign partnerships and financing for the buildout.
- Meta linked the effort to its previously stated plan to invest up to $600 billion in U.S. infrastructure and jobs by 2028.
- The scale implies major power needs; one gigawatt is roughly half the output of the Hoover Dam, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
