Microsoft plans to expand data-center capacity beyond 38 gigawatts by 2032, from approximately 12 gigawatts currently.

FinancialJuice reported that Microsoft plans 38 gigawatts of data-center capacity to meet demand. A second message specified that its data-center network would exceed 38 gigawatts in 2032, compared with approximately 12 gigawatts currently.

These figures describe data-center network capacity in gigawatts, not GPU counts, server counts, or annual electricity consumption. The messages do not define the capacity accounting basis, including whether the figures represent information-technology load or another facility-power measure.

The 2032 figure is a reported expansion plan, not currently operating capacity. The supplied messages provide no site-level breakdown, capital budget, hardware mix, utility agreements, or intermediate deployment milestones.
