Inside Meta’s $200 Billion Louisiana Data Center Bet

Meta is building an AI data center in Richland Parish, Louisiana, financed by a $200 billion private-capital deal, with power demand up to 7.5 gigawatts, including 5 gigawatts for computing, supplied by 10 new natural-gas plants.

Why it matters: Meta’s AI infrastructure push reaches $200B and 7.5GW, with 5GW tied to compute; HKR-H/K/R all pass because the numbers are concrete and strategically loaded. This fits the 85–94 same-day band.
