Meta announced on September 3, 2026 that its Kuna data center was online and operational. This supersedes the earlier secondary end-of-2026 opening expectation; the announcement does not disclose campus IT capacity or an exact first-compute date. The Kuna, Idaho campus has an AI-oriented design supported by renewable and municipal water infrastructure.
