About Meta Hyperion Richland Parish Data Center
Meta’s expanded Hyperion campus is under construction on a multi-building site. Meta reports more than $50 billion of regional investment, 7,500 peak construction jobs and 1,000 operating roles, while Entergy-related generation and transmission are separate supporting infrastructure. Phase-by-phase energization, tenant utilization, contract pricing and any undisclosed financing remain outside the verified public record.
