Wisconsin data center and compute infrastructure research

This state has reviewed research coverage from the national 50-state Atlas. Exact project locations are published only after source evidence establishes coordinates; state-level, regulatory, utility and prospective evidence remains visible without inventing map precision.

State research coverage

Wisconsin is part of the 50-state research coverage.

The current reviewed research set contains 6 accepted evidence records for Wisconsin, including 4 confirmed and 2 accepted prospective rows, with a research cutoff of 2026-08-20. These are evidence records, not a count of unique facilities.

Prospective records remain labeled as proposals, applications, forecasts, targets, queue entries or other non-operational states. The Atlas does not convert state-level or locality evidence into a precise project point unless a controlling source supports that location.

Evidence-backed project locations

Wisconsin project points

Source-exact records use supported coordinates. Dashed rings mark Census address-range geocodes, not rooftop or surveyed coordinates. Qualified research candidates are shown separately at Census locality or county centroids when that is the strongest source-backed geography; those markers do not claim a precise site coordinate.

Documented project / site inventory

31 project, facility, campus or documented site records are tracked for WI.

This project layer combines available project-profile, permit/intent and civic-impact evidence. Records retain unresolved location precision and limitations rather than inventing coordinates.

QTS DeForest annexation decision

2026-02-03 · Annexation petition rejected

DeForest's timeline records rejection of the 1,572.5-acre annexation petition on February 3, 2026, with later scheduled hearings on the described development cancelled or crossed out.

A rejected annexation does not establish that every possible future QTS project is cancelled. The village hall is not a facility site.
