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 2024-04-01 (2.5 years).
Stated date: Next projected milestone: 2026-12-01 (modeled/speculative)[1]
Required: 1.04 GW

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.

First signs of development/land clearing
Sep 13, 2024[1]
Roof complete on Building 1 (the 'H'), although we suspect this building is not for AI compute due to the construction speed, irregular design, and lack of external cooling.
Jun 10, 2025[1]
After a long quiet period they've laid foundations for Building 2 and the substation.
Oct 1, 2025[1]
Building 2 looks externally complete
Mar 1, 2026[1]
The cooling towers for Buildings 2 and 3 are both a little less than half done and the buildings still look like active construction sites.
Aug 19, 2026[1]
Building 2 has all cooling towers installed and is likely undergoing fit-out and commissioning. So we give it about 3 more months until it's operational. Building 3 appears to be slightly further than Building 2 was in March, so we estimate a 4-month lag.
