AI evidence brief
Summarizes only the evidence on this page. Answers citing anything else are rejected automatically.
How the time-to-power window was estimated
Evidence used
  • Current stage: Under construction (furthest stage with documented evidence)[1]
  • Construction elapsed: Construction documented since 2024-06-14 (2.3 years).
  • Stated date: Next projected milestone: 2026-12-31 (modeled/speculative)[1]
  • Required: 314 MW
Assumptions
  • 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.
Window: H1 2027 – H2 2027

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

Construction start: Jun 14, 2024[1]
First operational: Dec 31, 2026[1]
  1. Jun 14, 2024[1]

    Land clearing begins.

  2. Oct 27, 2025[1]

    Building 1 cooling towers and generators starting to be put in place. There's a foundation for Building 2 and 3.

  3. Dec 29, 2025[1]

    About half of Building 1 generators are in place. Building 2 roofing has started - about where Google Omaha Building 3 was on 2025-03-16.

  4. Apr 16, 2026[1]

    Building 1's generators are still only about halfway in place, and ~1/2 the cooling towers are still under construction. Building 2 roofing has been completed, and visible foundations have been built for cooling towers and generators.

  5. Dec 31, 2026Projected105 MW facility power· 1 buildings operational[1]

    Building 1 is operational. There is still work to be done since April, and Q4 2026 operational estimate was based on visible progress then.

  6. Feb 22, 2027Projected209 MW facility power· 2 buildings operational[1]

    Building 2 is operational. Based on Google Omaha Building 3 taking about 14 months from starting the roof to operation.

  7. May 23, 2027Projected314 MW facility power· 3 buildings operational[1]

    Building 3 is operational. Earlier satellite images suggest it was about 3 months behind Building 2.
