Unverified: not found in online records
- No utility or SCC record states power capacity for the site. Third-party trackers list 17 to 18 MW, unverified.
- No site plan or building permit was found online for the planned second building on the adjacent land.
- The 2025 power lineup permit and 2026 row permits are issued but not finaled, so it is not confirmed that the new capacity is energized.
- No record says which rows hold GPUs.
