Meta unveils a data center in Mesa with pledges of sustainability at a time when critics are raising louder concerns about electricity consumption.

After breaking ground in 2021, Meta’s Mesa Data Center has officially gone online. The data center announced Thursday that it is now serving traffic and is connected to global infrastructure and technologies.

Meta has brought its Mesa data center in Arizona online. The company broke ground on the initially-$800 million data center back in 2021, and announced that the site's scope would be expanded back in 2022.
