Meta's Hyperion data center in Richland Parish, Louisiana
Hyperion is Meta's AI campus in Richland Parish, Louisiana (listed address: Holly Ridge). It is not yet operating. It should first come online in Jan 2028 and reach full size that month: 1,632 MW for its computers and 2,203 MW for the whole site. That makes it Meta's largest planned AI campus.
What does a megawatt mean?
1,632 MW is about the average use of 1.4 million homes.
2,203 MW is about the average use of 1.8 million homes.
A megawatt (MW) measures how much power a site is built to handle at one time. Think of the size of a pipe, not the water that flows through it over a year.
1,000 MW is one gigawatt (GW).
The homes number is a site running at full power all year, beside what an average US home uses in a year.
An average US home used 10,491 kWh in 2025 (EIA).

How to read this chart
Each bar is the power the computers are built for at the end of that year. Years after 2026 are Epoch AI's forecast.
Epoch AI, a research group, makes these estimates from satellite photos, permits and company news. They can be off by a fair amount.
It should reach full size by Jan 2028: 1,632 MW for its computers and 2,203 MW for the whole site. That is the most planned at any Meta campus.
