Meta Davenport Data Center (Vemerald)
Meta (filed as Vemerald LLC). Approved
Meta has purchased 328 acres near Hillandale Road and Enterprise Way in Davenport for a planned 800 million dollar data center campus, to be run through a Meta subsidiary called Vemerald. The state approved a 20 year, 60 percent property tax exemption for the project, which is expected to create about 35 jobs. As of March 2026, Meta had bought the land but construction had not yet started.

What it would mean nearby
MidAmerican Energy is asking the commission for a 5.2% residential increase (MidAmerican Energy natural gas rate increase (docket RPU-2026-0001)). On a $58 monthly bill that is about $3 to $5 a month. This case does not set rates directly, but the new solar plant it approves will eventually be paid for through customer rates, and MidAmerican has said data center growth is a major reason it is needed.
