US EditionEnvironmental Group Files Lawsuit Against PSC over Beaver Dam Data Center
Midwest Environmental Advocates challenge Wisconsin PSC's trade secret claim to access unredacted energy demand data for Meta's $1 billion Beaver Dam AI data center.
- On Dec. 9, Midwest Environmental Advocates filed a lawsuit in Dane County Circuit Court seeking unredacted electrical load projections for Meta's $1 billion Beaver Dam data center.
- After an October records request, the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin redacted Beaver Dam projections and provided an unredacted Port Washington file showing a 1,300 megawatts interconnection, citing trade-secret claims.
- Meta officials said the campus will cover more than 700,000 square feet, underwrite nearly $200 million in energy infrastructure, and support roughly 100 operational employees plus 1,000 construction trade jobs with state tax breaks costing $70 million in two years.
- Wisconsin residents could face uncertainty over energy costs as energy companies say data centers will fund infrastructure, but MEA argues withholding load figures prevents public evaluation.
- Earlier this year, MEA sued the PSC to release water use projections for Meta's $1 billion Beaver Dam data center, which could exceed 8.4 million gallons under expansion.
