Verdict on the statement above: Company claim

Said by Fairfield Energy · Vantage Data Centers OH2 Millersport campus

Question: Has the proposed Fairfield Energy Center received its power-siting certificate?

Evidence and limits

The underlying filing, hearing outcome and any certificate remain unverified. Company generation figures are not data-center IT capacity.

Evidence limitation: Underlying application and staff report; reason for the official/company MW discrepancy; hearing outcome; any OPSB certificate or construction authorization.

What this covers. 29 checked claims so far with the verdict “Company claim”. They concern data-center projects in Indiana (13), Texas (6), Ohio (3), Virginia (3), Louisiana (1), Nevada (1), Oregon (1) and Wisconsin (1). A verdict distribution is an outcome of what we happened to check, not a scoreboard: it says nothing about claims we have not checked. Where a state, operator, project or topic shows no checked claim, read it as “not yet checked by DataCenterData”.

What a verdict means. A verdict applies only to the wording shown and the evidence linked on the check date. Where a separate question appears beside a statement checked, the verdict is about that statement, and the question has its own answer. “Unknown” means the reviewed evidence did not establish the point; it never means zero or false.
