This is a source-attributed discovery row. It can help you find a place and its citations; it is not a DataCenterData finding that the facility is distinct or currently operating.

Provider notes
Energy. Powered via a dedicated on-site Dominion Energy 135 kV substation (~306 MW); the design targets a PUE of 1.25. No confirmed renewable PPA or on-site generation.
Water. Air-cooled chillers (Airedale by Modine) with liquid-cooled options available; LEED / water-use-efficiency targets. No confirmed operational daily-use figure published.
Community. The Prince William County BOS approved the Gainesville Crossing rezoning (REZ2018-00008) 7-1 on Dec 10 2019 over opposition from the Coalition to Protect Prince William County (Elena Schlossberg: 'Citizens are carrying the burden of the massive infrastructure bills for these energy hogs'). Distinct from the separately-contested PW Digital Gateway / Pageland Lane project (voided by courts in 2025); GCDC's own approval is not under legal challenge.
What the source record says
~130-acre campus on Interstate 66; ~306 MW via an on-site Dominion substation. Distinct from the separately-tracked QTS/Compass 'PW Digital Gateway' site (~2,100 acres at Pageland Lane) — which QTS terminated in July 2026. Capacity recorded at 300 MW per the DCD primary source (a 326 MW figure also circulates). Coordinates are the Gainesville area centroid. The only confirmed money figure is the ~$74.5M 2020 land purchase (a real-estate transaction, not construction capex) -> investmentUsd omitted; no headcount is disclosed; the VA sales-and-use tax exemption is eligibility-gated with no public award.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

Compute Atlas 1.34.1 with retained prior rows and publication holds. This is a DataCenterData composite, not an unmodified publisher edition. This row uses the captured source from 1.34.1, source as of 2026-10-14T20:40:52.293Z.
That does not mean the row is wrong, and it does not mean no reviewed record exists for the same place. A link is added only when an identifier or source establishes the match.
