Provider notes
Energy. Firm power from CWPCo (a Billerud subsidiary and regulated utility operating 32 MW of hydroelectric generation). DPO secured a land lease of up to 50 years and interconnection rights to an existing, energized substation.
These reviews flag conflicting scope, inconsistent source text or support that has not been established. A withheld value may appear in the explanation, but is not displayed as an established field. The upstream row remains attributed under Sources.
- Land area: The source note says the exact acreage is not disclosed in the announcement.
What the source record says
Pre-development funded by an investor consortium led by Salutem Capital; Stantec providing engineering support. Exact street address and acreage not disclosed in the announcement, so coordinates are the Wisconsin Rapids city geocode. Single-source, hence 'reported'.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

- 2025-01-31 · source-reported proposed

Sources and attribution
These sources are listed for the whole row. Unless a figure links to its own source, the provider does not mark which one gave it, so a figure may not appear in every source.

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.
