What the source record says
Microsoft's first Quincy data center, on land bought in 2006. Began as a 500,000 sq ft building and reached about 800,000 sq ft across two buildings on a 270-acre complex by 2016; reported to draw 30-50 MW in 2012. No current capacity figure is asserted — Microsoft does not release the size or capacity of its Quincy facilities, and the 2012 figure is stale. Microsoft has roughly 400 employees in Quincy across its facilities there. Grant County PUD supplies power. Coordinates are the published minute-precision location (47°14'N 119°52'W).
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

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.
