Provider notes
Energy. MIT CSAIL's facility page states a 15-megawatt utility connection from Holyoke Gas & Electric, "about 70% of which is sourced locally from hydroelectric facilities on the Connecticut River", and that MGHPCC shares a 34.5 kV bus with the Hadley Falls hydroelectric station. Recorded as source=grid rather than hydro because the supply is a utility connection with a majority - not exclusive - hydro mix.
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.
- Cooling: 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
90,300 sq ft, opened 2012, hydro-powered university research-computing consortium (100 Bigelow St). Explicitly exempted from Holyoke's 2026 data center ban. Houses the MIT Lincoln Laboratory Supercomputing Center (LLSC / TX-GAIA) — recorded as one facility, not two.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
