Microsoft's estimated data-center footprint
Summed across Microsoft's 15 mapped facilities (~600 MW representative IT draw) — order-of-magnitude estimates from facility type and US grid/water averages, not metered readings.
Carbon assumes the US grid average of 370 gCO₂/kWh; figures vary widely with each campus's regional grid and any renewable power purchases.

Microsoft data centers: frequently asked questions
How many data centers does Microsoft have?
We map 15 Microsoft data center facilities, across 13 regions including Virginia, North Carolina, Wyoming, Illinois, Ireland, Arizona. Each is plotted on the interactive map with an estimated energy, cost, and carbon footprint.
Where are Microsoft's data centers located?
Microsoft's mapped facilities are in Boydton, Maiden, Cheyenne, Northlake, Dublin, El Mirage, Grand Rapids, Hoffman Estates. Open any one on the map to see its exact location and estimated footprint.
What types of facilities does Microsoft operate?
On our map, Microsoft operates Hyperscale facilities. Hyperscale campuses draw far more power than colocation or edge sites — see each facility's estimate on the map.
What is the estimated energy and carbon footprint of Microsoft's data centers?
Combined, Microsoft's 15 mapped facilities draw an estimated 4.5 TWh of electricity a year — about the yearly power of 414,012 homes — emitting roughly 1,653,012 metric tons of CO₂ and using on the order of 11,094 million gallons of water a year including upstream generation. These are order-of-magnitude estimates from facility type and US grid/water averages, not metered readings.
