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.
- Announced investment: Previously held pending provider-field review. The concern has not been resolved by an independent source review for this captured edition; the field remains withheld.
What the source record says
Operator's current project page states "4 story, 174,900 SF" and "53 MW in total power from ComEd, 28 MW initial phase"; the 2022 announcement described a 21MW five-storey building, so the design grew. Status is the weakest link here — neither operator page states a live date, and confidence is set to reported accordingly. Coordinates geocoded from the published street address.
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
- 2026-08-31 · source-reported permitted
