Reported facts

Structured facts sourced from citations already on this record. Each fact traces to a source in the References section below.

Investment / groundbreaking / jobs (primary Meta)
Meta's Los Lunas data center fact sheet states data center investment in New Mexico of $2.5B+, groundbreaking in 2016, 1,100 skilled trade workers on site at peak construction, 400+ operational jobs supported, 250+ grants and sponsorships provided locally since 2019, and $6.2M+ direct funding to Valencia County-area schools and nonprofits (Meta Los Lunas fact sheet)
100% clean energy / NM renewables + storage (primary Meta)
The same Meta fact sheet says Meta worked with Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) on energy planning and cost allocation so consumers are not negatively impacted, matches all electricity use with 100% clean and renewable energy, and supports 21 projects across 9 New Mexico counties adding 1,465 MW of new clean and renewable energy and 488 MW of battery storage. Operational data center buildings are described as achieving LEED Gold (Meta Los Lunas fact sheet)
Water stewardship / village full-cost water (primary Meta)
Meta states it worked with the Village of Los Lunas to pay the full cost of water and wastewater service for the data center, prioritizes on-site efficiency (more water-efficient cooling than industry standard, reuse before discharge, native landscaping, water-saving fixtures), and aims to restore more water to local New Mexico watersheds than the site consumes via partner projects, consistent with Meta's global water-positive 2030 goal (Meta Los Lunas fact sheet)
