Minnesota data centers, in short
Minnesota has 120 data centers identified from primary sources, spread across 39 cities and counties and run by 42 operators. The largest concentration is Minneapolis, with 29 data centers, followed by Eagan with 11 and Chaska with 10.
The operators with the most data centers in Minnesota are Cologix (5), DataBank (4), South Front Networks (3), ark data centers (3), Stream Data Centers (2). Colocation and interconnection providers appear most often because they publish building-level detail; hyperscale campuses appear where the operator or the county names the individual buildings.
Not every operator discloses size. In Minnesota, 18 publish a floor area and 16 publish a power figure, and each figure is shown against the data center it belongs to rather than added into one number. They are not the same measurement: one operator states the floor area of a single building, another the full capacity of a campus it has only announced.
MISO runs the wholesale power market and the high-voltage grid for most of Minnesota. 2 statewide measures governing data centers are on record, alongside 2 local pauses. 9 named projects in Minnesota are delayed, blocked or under challenge, and the capital atlas records 2 sites here.

How many data centers are in Minnesota?
The industry reference count for Minnesota is 81 facilities. This map places 120 of them from primary sources, each with a source record you can open, and every entry names the operator, the county, and the grid operator that serves it.
