Microsoft: Plano, IL

Year Planned: 2028
Utility Provider: ComEd
Lot Size: 506 acres

Microsoft owns about 506 acres west of Eldamain Road, on both sides of Corneils Road, in Plano, Illinois. It bought the land in April 2024 in three deeds from the Henning Family Farm, Plano Farms and the Morris Family Farm. Plano, Illinois, not to be confused with the Dallas suburb in Texas, is a Kendall County city more than 50 miles west of Chicago.

  • Approvals: Plano annexed the land and rezoned it for a data center campus in 2024.
  • Status: Microsoft paused the project in June 2025 without cancelling it, and still owns the land.
  • Infrastructure: The land lies north of the ComEd LaSalle-Plano transmission corridor, near ComEd's Plano substation.

Operating Company

Operated by:

Microsoft uses Containers (called ITPACs) to build out its data centers. These Containers are Shipping Containers fitted with all the necessary climate control, networking, server racks and other hardware necessary to be a “mini” data center all in one.

Azure Regions

An Azure region is a set of data centers deployed within a latency-defined perimeter and connected through a dedicated regional low-latency network.

With more global regions than any other cloud provider, Azure gives customers the flexibility to deploy applications where they need to. Azure is generally available in 46 regions around the world, with plans announced for 8 additional regions.

Geographies

An Azure geography is a discrete market, typically containing two or more regions, that preserves data residency and compliance boundaries.

Geographies allow customers with specific data-residency and compliance needs to keep their data and applications close. Geographies are fault-tolerant to withstand complete region failure through their connection to our dedicated high-capacity networking infrastructure.

Availability Zones

Availability Zones are physically separate locations within an Azure region. Each Availability Zone is made up of one or more data centers equipped with independent power, cooling, and networking.

Availability Zones allow customers to run mission-critical applications with high availability and low-latency replication.
