The Data Centers Tracker

Our tracker is the first open-access, facility-level dataset and mapping tool that documents the rapid buildout of AI and data center infrastructure across the United States. It can be downloaded, shared, and used by anyone (with credit to FracTracker). It integrates verified data from public records, permits, parcel data, FOIA responses, and media reports to provide transparent, real-time visibility into projects that have major implications for energy demand, climate goals, and community health. We are updating the tracker daily and crowdsourcing data in order to get information on the tracker from the advocates themselves so that other advocates can use it. We include real actionable information like links to petitions and webpages for grassroots groups leading site fights so that new advocates can see that there is resistance and join the fight. Our tool has a focus on information and locations relevant to intervention through advocacy.
