Alaska at a glance
Geographically, the buildout clusters: Denali County leads Alaska with 1 facility and a composite risk score of 4/100. North Slope County follow. Our county risk score weights project exposure (40%), power demand (30%), water draw (15%), and land footprint (15%); the full breakdown is shown on each county page.
Alaska is not done growing. 1 facility is in the pipeline — proposed, permitted, or under construction — which is where residents still have a say at zoning hearings and in rate cases. Each pending project is a decision about land, water, electricity prices, and tax revenue that hasn't been finalized.
We also surface the accountability trail: 1 state bill mentioning data centers and 6 recent news items are tracked for Alaska below, pulled from LegiScan and GDELT and refreshed automatically. Legislation is linked to the counties and operators it names; news is classified by community sentiment.
