Meta Eagle Mountain, 2026 expansion

Meta's expansion beside its Eagle Mountain campus (company says Utah investment tops $3B): 541 acres, dedicated Williams gas plant, private power filing before regulators.

Expansion under construction. The original Meta campus has operated since 2021; the 2026 expansion on 541 acres next door is the new, unfinished part. Its dedicated gas plant is not yet approved or running, and Meta has not published the expansion's IT capacity.

Evidence from space

NO2 over the site, net of the rural background, was somewhat higher in July–September 2026 (7 µmol/m²) than a year earlier (6), but the change is within normal swings at this level; the rural background stayed flat (about 16 both summers). The satellite sees no new combustion large enough to stand out here. On record here: Project Aquila gas plant (Williams, behind the meter), 286 MW, contracted. No rise fits a plant that is not running yet, or runs little; it does not prove either.

Lines: 7-day (daily) / 3-week (weekly) averages; gaps from cloud filled by straight-line interpolation; dots are raw readings. Shaded: July–September 2025 and 2026, averaging 6 and 7 µmol/m² above open country (1.3×).

What else could explain it

How this works: the Sentinel-5P satellite measures NO2 in the air over every point on Earth once a day, around 1:30 p.m. local time, in pixels about 5.5 by 3.5 km. NO2 comes from burning fuel (turbines, engines, traffic, power plants), so a rise over a site that open country does not share points to new combustion there. It shows combustion activity, not megawatts. The site box is about 15 km across; the background box is open country about 67 km away. We use only high-quality readings and drop days or weeks when cloud hides more than half of either box. Data: Copernicus Sentinel-5P (ESA), processed with the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem Sentinel Hub statistics service.
