The source note identifies 600 MW as a withdrawn electricity request, not built or permitted capacity. The upstream row remains attributed below, but this value is not repeated as site capacity.
What the source record says
Codenamed Project Accelerate; Engineered Land Solutions worked with Crosland Southeast on the filing. Capacity is omitted deliberately: the 'up to 600 MW' figure describes the withdrawn proposal's electricity request, not a built or permitted capacity. Re-checked 2026-09-10: the record is accurate. The withdrawal date (Oct. 8, 2025) and reason (public opposition) were confirmed again; no new filings or developments found at this site since.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
