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: Apr 20, 2024[1]
First operational: Apr 20, 2024[1]
  1. Apr 20, 202480 MW facility power· 1 buildings operational[1]

    Building 1 is operational. Based on ~7 months since roof being completed, and cooling towers being installed sometime within that period. Building 2 roof is complete.

  2. Sep 13, 2024173 MW facility power· 2 buildings operational[1]

    Building 2 is operational. Google Earth imagery shows 6 cooling towers installed as of 2024-04-20, and a final 7th unit appeared as of 2024-09-13, with minimal construction around the building. Building 3 roof is also complete.

  3. Jun 1, 2025267 MW facility power· 3 buildings operational[1]

    Building 3 is operational, based on all cooling units and tanks installed, minimal construction work around the building. Building 4 still has some work around the cooling towers. Work is underway on Building 5 - some walls and a few backup generators are in place.

  4. Oct 14, 2025400 MW facility power· 4 buildings operational[1]

    Building 4 is operational, based on all cooling units and tanks installed, minimal construction work around the building. Building 5 roof is half complete. About half of the backup generators are in place. One cooling tower is partly built.

  5. Jan 18, 2026400 MW facility power· 4 buildings operational[1]

    Water vapor from cooling towers is present across Building 1-4, confirming their operation. Building 5 roof is still incomplete, but most backup generators and 5 cooling towers have been installed.

  6. Mar 12, 2026400 MW facility power· 4 buildings operational[1]

    Building 5 has more cooling towers installed but not complete, and the roof is almost complete.

  7. May 18, 2026400 MW facility power· 4 buildings operational[1]

    Building 5 has all cooling towers installed, and all other components look complete, but there is still light work around the building. Based on that, we estimate 3 more months until operational.
