This is a source-attributed discovery row. It can help you find a place and its citations; it is not a DataCenterData finding that the facility is distinct or currently operating.

What the source record says
960,000 sq ft campus (Meta's 15th US data center). Originally Project Peregrine. Construction paused December 2022, restarted October 2023 with AI-optimized architecture; new design 31% cheaper and half the build time. Peak construction employed 1,400 workers. Expected operational end of 2026. Water infrastructure cost sourced to CEG ($70M) but Idaho Business Review cites $100M — discrepancy unresolved; use CEG figure as primary. Coordinates are Kuna city centroid; exact site is west of city center. As of December 2025, the campus was in the "final stages" of construction; local reporting notes power demand will not be clear until the site comes online.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
