Meta's 2020 post put the investment at more than $800 million supporting about 100 jobs; its 2024 post says the fully built facility will represent more than $1.5 billion in Tennessee.

Meta says eight Meta-supported projects with TVA add 530 MW of new renewable energy in Tennessee; that is a renewable-supply figure, not the campus load.
