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.

Land clearing starts for Building 1.
- Feb 9, 2026[1]
Building 1 shell and cooling looks complete, but construction equipment is still seen around cooling and building.
Building 1 is operational, based on a lack of construction activity around the shell and cooling equipment, and about 6 months passing after structural completion.
