OpenAI Stargate: where the US sites stand

Updates
Apr. 23, 2026:
We previously estimated that 0.6 GW was operational for Stargate Abilene. However, a subsequent post by Oracle implied that only 200 megawatts (or about 0.3 GW of total facility power by our estimate) was operational as of April 22nd. We updated the Stargate Abilene timeline accordingly. We now estimate that the 0.6 GW will be achieved in late May, while the full 1.2 GW will be achieved in Q4 2026.
