Meta

Meta announced on July 13, 2026 that its Hyperion AI supercluster in Richland Parish, Louisiana will scale to 5 gigawatts, up from an initial 2 GW plan. The company's total investment in the region will exceed $50 billion. First 2 GW is planned for 2030; full capacity by 2032. The expansion is financed through a joint venture with Blue Owl Capital.

• Hyperion becomes one of the largest single AI clusters planned globally at 5 GW full capacity.
• First phase (2 GW) arrives in 2030, six years after initial project announcements, indicating extended timelines for massive infrastructure.
• Entergy Louisiana is supplying 5.2+ GW of natural gas capacity and supporting 2.5 GW of solar expansion.
• Meta committed $1 billion to local infrastructure improvements (roads, water systems) and local businesses have received $1.6B+ in contracts.
• Joint venture with Blue Owl Capital keeps much of the capital investment off Meta's balance sheet.
