The Louisiana Public Service Commission voted 3-1 to allow Meta to keep detailed records for its $50 billion data center project secret, overturning a judge's order for public disclosure. The ruling pertains to the calculation of job projections and electricity needs for Meta’s Hyperion campus in Richland Parish. This decision was reached despite opposition from groups like the Sierra Club, who had requested the figures from the commission.

Meta's future lease obligations for AI data centers reached $279 billion, a 53% increase from three months prior, with an additional $68 billion in leases signed after the quarter ended.
