Every AI data center

The receipts.

Operators hide behind shell companies. Governments hand out billions in subsidies with no audit. From Virginia to Dublin to Tokyo, your grid pays for a buildout you never voted on. We publish the receipts, and update them every day.

2,823 data-center campuses tracked across 31 countries $3.3B in tax breaks traced, 74.5 GW of grid load mapped, every figure linked to its source.

Or — what is the buildout costing you?

Most sites are mapped — located but awaiting a second source. How we verify

Dot size = disclosed capacity (MW). Smallest = undisclosed, not small.

The buildout doesn't stop at the border.

The same playbook — shell entities, subsidies, strained grids — is running on every continent. Each country hub carries the local operators, real owners, environmental permits, grid carbon mix, power prices, and press coverage in the local language.

Plus 19 more countries with live coverage — browse all of them.

The signature move

They file under names that mean nothing.

Every big project hides behind a fresh LLC with a generic name so nobody at the local hearing can tell who's actually buying the land. We do the corporate-registry legwork on every single one and trace the shell chain all the way to the parent.

Tap unmask to walk a real example. Then imagine it done for all 2,823 sites, with the source filing attached to each link.

What's near you?

Put in your address. We'll show you what they're already charging you.

Every data center in your utility territory shifts grid-upgrade costs onto your bill. We use PJM, MISO, and ERCOT capacity-auction math to estimate your share — for free, with no signup, no email capture.

Ask DCX

Ask anything about a facility. We answer with sources attached.

A natural-language copilot over every facility, permit, abatement, lobbyist filing, and hearing transcript we've ingested. Every claim links back to the source document with a page-level highlight.

Differentiation

Everyone else gives you pins. We give you the paper trail.

Other trackers stop at a dot on a map. This one goes to the documents, the dollars, and the owners.

Drop a pin, upload a photo, share a hearing notice. Every report is verified against public records before it goes live. Your eyes on the ground beat any scraper.

Keep it independent

No ads. Ever.

This runs on public data and stubbornness — not advertising, not corporate underwriting, not anyone's permission. If it's useful to you, a few dollars keeps the servers on and the records flowing.
