Minnesota's estimated environmental footprint
Summed across Minnesota's 3 mapped facilities (~50 MW of representative IT draw), these are order-of-magnitude estimates — modelled from each facility's type and US grid/water averages, not metered readings.
Carbon assumes the US grid average of 384 gCO₂/kWh; water uses a 1.8 L/kWh on-site (and 9.4 L/kWh all-in) water-usage-effectiveness reference. Hyperscale campuses on cleaner or dirtier regional grids will vary widely.

Data centers in Minnesota: frequently asked questions
How many data centers are in Minnesota?
Minnesota has 3 mapped data center facilities, across 3 cities including Minneapolis, Edina, Rosemount. Each is plotted on the interactive map with an estimated daily energy use, electricity cost, and carbon footprint.
Which companies operate data centers in Minnesota?
Operators on the map include Cologix, DataBank, Meta.
Where are most data centers located in Minnesota?
Minnesota's mapped data centers are concentrated around Minneapolis, Edina, Rosemount. Open any facility on the map to see its exact location, operator, and estimated footprint.
Are these Minnesota energy and carbon figures measured?
No — energy, cost, and carbon are order-of-magnitude estimates derived from each facility's type and the regional electricity grid, not metered readings. They are for awareness and comparison, with data sources cited on the map.
What is the environmental impact of data centers in Minnesota?
Combined, Minnesota's 3 mapped facilities draw an estimated 0.3 TWh of electricity a year — roughly the yearly power of 32,066 homes — emitting about 132,872 metric tons of CO₂ and using on the order of 165 million gallons of cooling water (≈859 million gallons including upstream power generation). These are order-of-magnitude estimates from facility type and US grid/water averages, not metered readings.
