What's happening in Miami-Dade County
Facilities here with disclosed capacity draw 16 MW from the local grid. Data-center load on this scale is the single biggest driver of recent capacity-market price increases — costs that flow through to every ratepayer in the service territory, not just the operators.
Below: every tracked facility in the county, the active state legislation that names it or its county, and local news. Commissioner vote records arrive in a later release; the placeholders show where that accountability data will land.
2035 Buildout Outlook
Under the model's moderate-growth scenario (5%/yr annual load growth), PNNL's IM3 model sites about 1 standardized 36 MW campus in Miami-Dade County by 2035 — roughly 36 MW of new electricity demand and ~0 M gal/yr of cooling water. For scale, we currently track 4 real data centers in Miami-Dade County (16 MW of reported power).
- Higher growth136 MW · ~0 M gal/yr cooling water
These are modeled candidate sites, not announced or permitted facilities. PNNL's IM3 model places identical 36 MW unit-campuses at feasible locations under each scenario — it shows where demand could concentrate, never a specific parcel. Figures use a market-gravity weight of 50. How the model works.
