Interconnection records
No interconnection-queue record is linked to this site. Of the ISOs we ingest, only NYISO publishes large-load requests; PJM, ERCOT, MISO, SPP and CAISO queues list generation only.

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.

Satellite imagery shows Building 3 and 4 cooling start to go on.
Satellite imagery shows Building 2 and 3 cooling nearing completion and Building 4 cooling install continues. We believe Building 1 is operational now due to the lack of construction equipment on or immediately around the building.
We believe Buildings 2, 3, and 4 are operational due to the absence of construction vehicles and completed parking lots/concrete around the facilities. There is also a vehicle presence in the parking lot similar to the level seen during normal operation at other data center campuses. Finally, it is more than 12 months after cooling has been installed or in the final stages of install for the remaining three buildings.
All four buildings are operational
All four buildings are operational.
