Meta Richland Parish Data Center
Under Construction · Funds managed by Blue Owl Capital · LA-183 & Wade Rd, Rayville, Louisiana
Meta’s Richland Parish Data Center is a major AI campus under construction near Rayville, Louisiana, within MISO. Phase 1 covers roughly 4 million square feet and is planned to support more than 2 GW of compute capacity; a later expansion would bring the Hyperion campus to 5 GW of compute capacity. Entergy Louisiana’s service plan includes new high-voltage transmission, substations, combined-cycle generation, renewable resources, battery storage, and nuclear uprates. The campus is not yet operating, and later-phase dates remain development targets.
