Meta, Alliant Energy, & BDADC Make Case for Beaver Dam AI Data Center

Officials from Meta, Alliant Energy, and the Beaver Dam Area Development Corporation addressed public concerns regarding the $1 billion AI data center under construction in Beaver Dam. They clarified that the facility would use a dry closed-loop system for water, reducing water consumption, and that energy costs would not be passed on to other consumers. The officials also discussed the history of the project, including the use of Non-Disclosure Agreements, and Meta’s commitment to long-term operation of its data centers.
