Answer to the question

Who made the statement
Said by Fairfield Energy · company statement in Fairfield Energy utility-facility page →
What the evidence establishes
The reviewed evidence does not establish a certificate. Fairfield Energy describes an application, which is not an approval. The September hearing notice is historical, and the outcome remains unverified. Shown as the company’s statement, not as a finding either way.
Biggest limitation
The underlying filing, hearing outcome and any certificate remain unverified. Company generation figures are not data-center IT capacity.
Checked
17 September 2026 · Next review: Follow-up overdue since 17 September 2026 — Official OPSB docket 26-0160-EL-BGN after the 17 September 2026 hearing. A newer evidence review is still needed. · History (3) →

Evidence

What the evidence supports

A preserved OPSB summary describes a proposed 1,300 MW gas facility with up to 1,000 MW of battery storage. Fairfield Energy's page instead says it submitted the same case for up to 1,350 MW net gas generation plus approximately 1,040 MW of battery storage. Those figures are separate from Vantage OH2's 696 MW planned critical-IT capacity and cannot be added to it. The underlying filing was not obtained, so the discrepancy remains unresolved. The previously reviewed notice scheduled an evidentiary hearing for 17 September 2026; no hearing outcome or certificate has been verified.

Field OPSB / generation status

From The claim cited only Fairfield Energy's application description.

To The claim now separates the preserved OPSB summary's 1,300/1,000 MW figures from Fairfield Energy's 1,350/1,040 MW figures.

Why The official and company summaries disagree; neither is converted to data-center IT capacity and the underlying filing remains unavailable.

vantage-oh2-millersport → OPSB / generation status

Field OPSB / generation status

From The source link used an OPSB case-summary URL that now returns 404.

To The working source link now opens Fairfield Energy's live project page, which identifies OPSB case 26-0160-EL-BGN.

Why The historical OPSB summary is described as preserved evidence rather than presented as a working page; the official case-summary URL returns 404 and the Docketing Information System rejected a direct case request during this check.
