Wisconsin's estimated environmental footprint
Summed across Wisconsin's 2 mapped facilities (~80 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.

Which companies operate data centers in Wisconsin?
Operators on the map include Microsoft, Vantage Data Centers.
Where are most data centers located in Wisconsin?
Wisconsin's mapped data centers are concentrated around Mount Pleasant, Port Washington. Open any facility on the map to see its exact location, operator, and estimated footprint.
Are these Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin?
Combined, Wisconsin's 2 mapped facilities draw an estimated 0.6 TWh of electricity a year — roughly the yearly power of 55,202 homes — emitting about 228,741 metric tons of CO₂ and using on the order of 283 million gallons of cooling water (≈1,479 million gallons including upstream power generation). These are order-of-magnitude estimates from facility type and US grid/water averages, not metered readings.
