Capacity basis: Former proposed data-centre capacity (MW)
DC Intel assessment
Speculative
Why
Useful negative control: despite a 1 GW campus concept, the associated power plant was denied by the AUC in August 2026 and the proponent confirmed it would not proceed as proposed.
Risk
Inactive after critical power approval failure; no approved replacement power source.
Watch
Only a redesigned power/site strategy and new approvals would revive it.
Power strategy
Former concept relied on ~1.4 GW supporting gas generation; no approved power source.
