The Pipeline — tracked GW by stage

13.1 GW † ^D Committed announced + contracted 6.0 GW † ^E Under construction steel in the ground 2.0 GW † ^E Energized running today — this moves the Clock

† includes rows whose GW is undisclosed — the true total is higher than the sum shown.

How this relates to the Clock: the Clock (~45 GW) estimates all AI capacity running worldwide, top-down from chip sales. This bar tracks only capacity traceable to named sites — its energized 2.0 GW is the identified slice of the Clock's number, while committed and building watts don't count until they switch on.

Only energized watts move the Clock. Everything else is a claim about the future. Full pipeline →
