Data Center Resource Ledger

About the ledger

The Data Center Resource Ledger is AI for Ecology’s open record of US data centers and the power plants built for them. It tracks what each site is, where it is, its stated size, and research on its water use, public subsidies, permits, real power load and the public claims made about it. It replaced the team’s shared spreadsheet in November 2026.

What the review labels mean

Imported, not reviewed

Copied automatically from a public dataset (mostly Compute Atlas, Epoch AI and PeeringDB) through the old US Master List. No one at AIforE has checked it.

Needs review

Added or researched by AIforE’s AI research agents or the team, with sources, but not yet checked by a person.

Conflict

Sources disagree and the row is waiting for someone to decide.

Reviewed

Checked by a person against its sources. Nothing has this label yet.

Verdicts, tiers and scores in the Claims, Load Reality and Permit Checks tabs are the agents’ working judgements, shown so the reasoning is open to challenge. “Confidence” is the agent’s own estimate, not a measured accuracy.

Corrections
