Coverage note

This is an evidence watch, not a census of global AI infrastructure. Different stories can describe the same project, so disclosed MW observations must not be summed across rows without entity-level reconciliation.

Measurement technique

How to read this report

  1. 01A record requires a published, source-backed Superpower Daily story containing an explicit compute, chip, power, or data-center development.
  2. 02Weekly editions run Monday through Sunday in UTC and a story contributes one classified capacity signal.
  3. 03MW and GW values are extracted only when explicitly written in the stored source-backed record; GW is converted arithmetically to MW. Repeated identical values within one story are deduplicated.
  4. 04Capacity values are observations, not a sum of global or net-new capacity. Project locations, status, and investment are not inferred from facility size or marketing claims.
