Provider notes
Energy. Site adjacent to Xcel's Split Rock substation and Angus Anson power station; an Xcel facility study is in process. The developer committed to funding utility extensions and substation upgrades.
Community. The city council approved rezoning unanimously despite hours of opposing public testimony; a citizen petition drive is gathering signatures that could force the rezoning to a public vote. A state 50-year sales-tax exemption bill failed in the 2026 legislative session.
What the source record says
aiClassification is 'likely' (not 'confirmed'): Gemini is the land developer, no tenant is signed, and only developer aspiration to attract a hyperscale/AI/neocloud tenant is on record. Capacity (500 MW) and acreage per SiouxFalls.Business; an earlier report cited 160 acres. Coordinates are approximate for the northeast Sioux Falls site. As a developer land project with no signed tenant, its water, subsidy, investment, and job figures remain developer projections only (South Dakota has no state income tax and rejected data-center incentive bills); all recorded as honest-zeros pending a confirmed tenant.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
Status history supplied by the source
- 2025 · source-reported proposed
Gemini Data Center SD LLC (a California family office under Michael Anvar) acquired ~164 acres from Xcel Energy northeast of Sioux Falls, adjacent to Xcel's Split Rock substation, and sought city approvals for a data center supporting up to 500 MW. Gemini is the land developer, not the operator; no tenant is signed.
- 2026-01 · source-reported permitted
Sioux Falls City Council approved annexation (October 8, 2025) and unanimously approved rezoning from agricultural to light industrial (January 2026), despite hours of opposing testimony. Construction was targeted for 2026 and operation for 2028. The developer committed to funding all utility extensions at its own cost.

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.
