Oct 20 : At least 35 data center-related applications covering more than 24,000 acres of US federal land are pending or active across six Western states, according to an analysis by conservation group Center for Western Priorities.
• US Bureau of Land Management records show at least 17 proposed data center campuses and 13 related infrastructure projects, including transmission lines, pipelines, telecommunications facilities and access roads across Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Wyoming, according to the study.
• A map of the planned projects includes several applications for infrastructure tied to a Prometheus Hyperscale facility in Wyoming and a range of projects by developer Copia Power in Arizona, Nevada and Idaho, among others.
• The figures underscore industry interest in developing AI infrastructure on federal land as the Trump administration seeks to open public lands to a wider range of industrial uses, including energy, mining and technology projects.
