# Countries
## 69% of the tracked megawatts are not operating today

49,728 MW of compute capacity is tracked across 34 countries. 15,397 MW of it is operating today; the rest is under construction, announced, or has no build status. The table splits each country’s figure across those stages.

What the ranking measures

This is a statement about the record. Coverage is denser where disclosure is denser: a country whose operators file with the SEC, publish capacity, and appear in the open facility catalogues will have more tracked megawatts than one whose build-out is equally real and less documented. The ranking measures what is documented. Where a country’s own record is thin, its [facility rows](/entities) say so, and its country record states how many of them have an operational measure.

-   Operating
-   Under construction
-   Announced
-   No build status

The rule is 31%, the share of all tracked capacity operating today. A segment whose solid base reaches it is further built than the record as a whole.

_What the capacity column is made of._ The field is the 49,728 MW of tracked capacity at full width. Each segment is one country and its width is that country’s share of the total, so the field reads left to right as concentration. The United States alone takes 73%, and 4 countries take 90%.

Within a segment the stack from the baseline up is operating plant, plant under construction, then announced pipeline, each as a share of that country’s own capacity, so build stage is comparable across segments that are not comparable in scale.

Where a country’s three stages do not sum to its capacity the gap is hatched rather than shaded: 200 MW across the field is retired, cancelled, or has no status at all, and is counted neither as built nor as pipeline.

Nothing here is schematic. Both proportions are measured shares of the counts in the key, and countries below 0.6% of the total are folded into one band and counted rather than dropped.

Capacity is a facility-power sum and is estimate-bearing in aggregate; 34 of the 126 countries in the register have a capacity figure at all, and 75 of the rest hold tracked facilities whose power is not on record. The field cannot draw that gap; the register counts it in a column of its own. Read September 5, 2026.

Two countries in the register have almost the same tracked megawattage and entirely different plant behind it: one with construction under way, the other an announcement whose first megawatt is not yet in service. The undifferentiated capacity column ranks them together. The _Operating_ column separates them under any sort.

Concentration is the second thing the table flattens. 73% of all tracked capacity is in the United States, and 4 countries account for 90% of it, so most rows below the fold have megawatt figures three orders of magnitude apart. The register still lists them, because a country’s access classification, its designations and its programmes are facts whether or not its plant is measured. 92 of the 126 rows have no capacity figure at all, a gap in the power record rather than an absence of plant. 75 of them hold 696 tracked facilities whose power is not on record; the other 17 are here because a rule names them, a designated entity is located there, or a sovereign programme is keyed to them. Facilities with no power figure are the largest coverage boundary in this record. Facility coverage and capacity coverage are measured separately, and a country can be well covered on one and absent from the other.

These records are shown three ways. This one compares countries against each other. [Radar](/entities/countries/radar) restates each country as four ratios computed inside that country, so nothing is a share of a world total. [Brief](/entities/countries/brief) condenses the same rows to one screen around the export-control split. The organisations that own this plant are in the [company register](/entities/companies), and the same universe is plotted in space on the [map](/map).

Every country the record holds, sortable on any column. Each row opens that country’s full record.
