Chronopin: upcoming release dates, events and other important dates

Meta's first South Carolina data center is an $800 million, 715,000-square-foot AI-optimized campus in Sage Mill Industrial Park near Graniteville in Aiken County. Land clearing began in May 2024, Epoch's drone-based review confirms Building 1 operational in August 2026 with Building 2 still being commissioned, and Meta's stated target for the campus is spring 2027.

OpenAI's Stargate campus in Abilene, Texas, is Crusoe's eight-building, roughly 4 million sq ft, 1.2 GW development leased to Oracle. Construction began in 2024; Oracle reported six of eight buildings delivered on September 10, 2026, with the last two still being fitted out. A $15 billion joint venture funds the campus. Epoch AI estimates 618 MW of IT power now and 824 MW when complete.

The plant will build the company’s next-generation EVs that are expected to arrive to market around mid-decade.

The changes to the Oakville complex will include combining three body shops into one and adding battery pack assembly, Ford said.

The Oakville plant will continue to build the gas-powered Ford Edge and Lincoln Nautilus crossovers up until the plant’s downtime.

The investment is part of Ford’s plan to have production capacity for 2 million EVs globally by the end of 2026.

The retooling is expected to take six months and begin in the second quarter of next year, Ford said.
