- ⚠ No public interconnection record for this load — SPP does not publish large-load requests.
- ⚠ No permit record linked to this site yet.
How the time-to-power window was estimated
- From “Under construction”, large loads have typically taken 0.5–2 more years to first power (editorial range; see Methodology).
- Construction to first power typically takes 1.25–2.5 years.
- The window is a range of plausible outcomes under these assumptions, not a forecast. It moves as new filings, queue updates or imagery arrive.

Utility, ISO and nearby assets are derived from the site's location. Proximity to a substation or line doesn't establish the interconnection; that needs a utility filing or interconnection-queue record. Queue requests are applications, not commitments — most never reach operation.

Timeline
- May 19, 2025[1]
Land clearing begins
- Oct 16, 2025[1]
Building 1 and 2 under construction.
- Dec 23, 2025[1]
Construction on Building 1 and 2 looks about halfway to completion. Foundations and utility trenches are visible for Building 3-4. Building 5-6 have an outline. The substation appears to be expanding.
- Apr 16, 2026[1]
Progress is made on all buildings, Building 1 and 2 specically have begun to install cooling structures. The substation expansion seems to be nearing completion.
Building 1 operational. This regulatory document lists the completion date for Building 1 as 2026-09-12, the current status suggests this estimate will not be met. From the timeline seen at the Abilene, Texas site for the same building styles we estimate operability to occur 8 months after the state seen in April 2026.
Building 2 operational. The completion date for Building 2 Tenant Improvement is 2026-11-07, about 2 months later than Building 1. We therefore add 2 months to the Building 1 operational date.
6 buildings are operational. This is based on: 1. A regulatory filing for Building 6 with a completion date of 2027-07-30. Normally there is a follow-up filing for "tenant improvement" which involves building the interior, with a completion date 1-3 months after the initial filing. 2. A project deadline of EOY 2027 in the original tax abatement agreement 3. The similar 8-building project in Abilene taking an estimated 2 years and 2 months.
