Key Risks
Meta Hyperion broke ground December 2024 in Richland Parish, Louisiana. Investment has grown from $10B to $27B, with President Trump suggesting it could reach $50B at full build-out. The 2,250-acre campus will house 4 million square feet (approximately 70 football fields) with 2+ GW compute capacity for training Llama AI models. Blue Owl Capital holds 80% ownership. First phase operational expected 2028, full completion 2030. Entergy is investing $3.2B in three new natural gas generators nearby. 500+ permanent jobs.
