Capacity is retained as critical IT load and is not added to utility demand or backup generator ratings.

Questions the public record still needs to answer.

These are diligence prompts. General reference sources below are not verified project-specific approvals, utility agreements or incentive awards.

General reference: Data centers: land use considerations ↗

Electric service

What site-specific utility service agreement, interconnection milestone and delivery date are documented?

Reviewed disclosure: 288 MW critical IT load — campus specification. A campus specification is not an energized utility commitment. The general utility and SCC references do not identify the serving utility, governing rate or service agreement for this particular site.

Environmental and water review

Which air, water and cooling records apply to the actual site and phase?

The register does not establish a project-specific water allocation or final environmental approval.

Investment and incentives

Which site-specific investment scope and written incentive or tax-qualification records are available?

Reviewed investment disclosure: Not disclosed in cited source. A program commitment is not a campus valuation.

General reference: Data center retail sales and use tax exemption ↗

Employment and timing

Which phase, hiring dates, job types and current employer postings are documented?

Reviewed jobs disclosure: Not disclosed in cited source. An announced target is not a live vacancy count. The workforce references are general training resources; they do not establish an employer affiliation, hiring commitment or project-specific training agreement.

Reuse qualifications

This is a public research packet, not a legal, tax, engineering or investment opinion.
A source association is not proof of a final permit, utility commitment, incentive award or completed project.
Campus and multi-site program scopes are different. Do not sum overlapping program and campus investment or capacity figures.
Publication dates, desk review dates and project milestones have different meanings. An export is not a new source verification.
Unknown or undisclosed values remain unknown; locality markers are approximate and do not establish parcel jurisdiction.
