Provider notes
Energy. Prince George's County is Pepco (Exelon) service territory. The 820 MW campus holds final plan approvals but has been politically frozen since a September 2025 county-executive order and a council moratorium, so interconnection/PJM and on-site generation details remain undisclosed.
Community. 22,500+ petition signatures collected. County Executive Aisha Braveboy issued executive order in September 2025 pausing development. Separately, the Prince George's County COUNCIL passed a county-wide TWO-YEAR moratorium on hyperscale data center development -- a distinct action from the County Executive's September 2025 executive-order pause above, and reported by WTOP on 2026-07-07 (the article states no vote date, so 2026-07-07 is the REPORTING date, not the vote date). …
What the source record says
2101 Brightseat Road, Landover MD. Project has final plan approvals but is politically frozen pending task force report. Five buildings on 87 acres of former mall site. As a permitted-but-frozen project, no facility-specific water design, subsidy award, or committed job figures have been disclosed; job figures circulating in press are Maryland Tech Council sector benchmarks, not Brightseat commitments. Re-checked 2026-09-10: status remains PERMITTED (no enum value exists for 'construction paused by opposition/moratorium'). Groundbreaking has not occurred; community opposition (23,000+ petition signatures) and PG County Council ordinances CB-019-2026/CB-020-2026 (introduced March 2026 to repeal the qualified-data-center site-plan-review exemption) continue to threaten the timeline. Subsidies: found only a general-program reference (MD/PG County 2020 sales-and-use tax exemption for qualified data centers, Tax-General Article Sec.11-239(a)(5)(i)) with no site-specific dollar figure for this project, so no subsidies entry is reported -- record as a program-level fact only. No street-address source was independently fetched this run (existing statusHistory note already cites 2101 Brightseat Road from an earlier source), so location.street is left for a future run with a fresh citation.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
