Kansas-based Trade Winds Energy is building the 320-megawatt Rattlesnake Creek Wind Project to help power a 146-acre data center campus for Facebook in suburban Omaha, Nebraska.

Around 200 MW will be allocated for the data center and 120 MW will be available to other buyers.

The planned data center is Facebook’s ninth data center worldwide and its sixth in the United States.

The campus will include two 450,000-square-foot buildings and a 70,000-square-foot administrative building. The data center is expected to be online in 2020.

Neither Facebook nor Trade Winds provided a cost for the wind farm.

Facebook currently has data centers in Prineville, Oregon; Forest City, North Carolina; Lulea, Sweden; and Altoona, Iowa. Construction on additional data centers is underway in Fort Worth, Texas; Clonee, Ireland; Los Lunas, New Mexico; and Odense, Denmark.
