The edition-stamped snapshot of Louisiana’s AI data center buildout: capex, quantified MW by build stage, parish scorecard, operator portfolio, and the LPSC docket pulse. Every number derives from the same source-linked tracker rows — nothing is restated by hand.
Under construction or civil works in motion.
Announced, permitting, or site acquired — not yet building.
Tracked from supplier RFPs only; excluded from confirmed counts.

The Louisiana AI Infrastructure Index is LouisianAI's edition-stamped quarterly snapshot of the state's AI data center buildout. The Q2 2026 edition aggregates 6 source-linked tracker rows into capex, MW, build-stage, parish, operator, and LPSC docket summaries. Every number derives from the same per-project records published on the tracker.
The Q2 2026 edition tracks $39.3B of row-level, source-linked project capex across 6 tracked projects (5 confirmed campuses plus rumour-grade rows).
2,750 MW of quantified peak demand sits in active build (under construction or civil works), with another 4,500 MW announced or in permitting. Quantified tracker rows sum to 7,350 MW.
The index covers 5 parishes with confirmed projects. The parish scorecard ranks them by tracked capex; the current edition is led by Caddo & Bossier.
The regulatory pulse covers 4 tracked LPSC docket records: 2 open, 1 approved, and 1 repository, last verified 2026-05-15. Each has a citable record page under /lpsc-dockets.
Cite it as "Louisiana AI Infrastructure Index, Q2 2026 edition, LouisianAI, published 2026-06-09, louisianai.com/louisiana-ai-infrastructure-index." Underlying rows are available as CSV and JSON datasets, and every project metric links back to its source-linked profile.
Index metrics are computed directly from LouisianAI’s source-linked tracker rows and LPSC docket records at publication — the same records behind every project profile. Capex and MW reflect row-level tracked values, not aggregated press claims; rumour-grade rows are reported separately from confirmed campuses. See the methodology page for confidence grading.
