Nebius 800MW campus - Independence, Missouri

Nebius has broken ground on a data centre campus in Independence, Missouri that will cover approximately 400 acres and require up to 800 megawatts of power. The controversial project moved forward after extended negotiations with local officials and community groups.

The campus is expected to create 1,300 construction jobs during the multi-year build-out. The project highlights both the enormous scale of current data centre development and the community opposition that increasingly accompanies these projects, with local residents raising concerns about power consumption, noise, and environmental impact.
