Power & grid
- Power
- Published capacity figures conflict and none is defined consistently. At acquisition in 2020 the campus was described as an existing 72 MW facility with 108 MW of expansion capacity, giving 180 MW in total, with no stated definition. The operator's current campus page states 148 MW of critical IT load. A third-party directory states about 150 MW. Because the figures conflict and the 2020 figures carry no definition, no capacity figure is recorded and the campus is excluded from every total.
