Where are the data centers in Minnesota?

Mostly around Chaska, which holds more of these records than anywhere else in the state. The map above plots all 15 and the city table breaks them out.

Is there a data center near me in Minnesota?

The city table below groups every facility on record by city, which is the quickest way to find the data center closest to a given town. This site does not read your location.

Are these AI data centers?

Unknown, and no public record in Minnesota says. A permit records a data center; it does not record the tenant or the workload. Where an AI data center exists in Minnesota it is in this list without being labelled as one, and this page will not guess which.

Who operates Minnesota data centers?

Verizon appears against more of these records than any other operator. Where a source names no operator the row says so rather than guessing one.

How many Minnesota data centers are under construction or planned?

No source covering Minnesota publishes a build status, so this page shows none. Status is only available where a county publishes its permit layer.

How current is this, and what is left out?

OpenStreetMap extract 2026-09-17; county permit capture 2026-09-12. Power draw, tenant, commissioned megawatts and lease terms are not in any of these public records and are not shown anywhere on this site.

The power behind Minnesota's data centers

EIA-860M lists 807 operating power plants in Minnesota totalling 20,114 MW of nameplate capacity, of which 34 are natural gas plants. That is the supply these 15 facilities draw on. None of these data-centre records states a load, so this page draws no line between the two — it only puts them in one place.
