Provider notes
Energy. S-1: the campus is "designed to include 8.0 GW-IT of data center capacity, representing 10 GW of gross power load expected to be supported by the PJM transmission system and new neighbouring gas-fired generation facilities" - hence "mixed". The 9.2 GW of gas is new build, not a reused plant; the site is the former Portsmouth uranium-enrichment complex, whose historic power came over OVEC coal-fired transmission (X-533 switchyard, de-energised 2008, decommissioned 2011). …
Community. Documented local support alongside contamination-legacy distrust. Support: State Sen. Shane Wilkin - "It’s just going to be a generational change for this area"; SODI executive director Steve Shepherd called it "a model for the country"; the Scioto Valley-Piketon Area Council of Governments chair framed it as moving contaminated residential land to industrial use. Concern: a neighbouring farmer with contaminated property ("This is the most contaminated place around here"), and Conserve Ohio on water, transmission and the precedent of siting hyperscale projects on legacy DOE land. …
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.
- On-site generation: The source note says the 9.2 GW of gas generation is at neighboring plants about five miles away that the developer does not expect to own or operate, so it is not established as on-site generation.
What the source record says
Officially "PORTS-Pike Technology Campus"; formerly tracked under the pre-announcement Ohio entity New Day Data Centers LLC, a name that appears nowhere in the SEC S-1 or SB Energy’s own announcements. Developer/operator is SB Energy (SoftBank-controlled); the DOE lease was signed 2026-02-26 by its subsidiary Pike County Portsmouth DC LLC. CAPACITY - three distinct figures that must not be conflated: 8.0 GW-IT of contracted compute (8,024 MW-IT; NVIDIA guarantees the initial 4.25 GW-IT with an option on the remaining 3.78 GW-IT), 10 GW of gross power load (the capacityMw.planned value here), and 9.2 GW of new gas generation. OFFTAKE: on 2026-08-17 SB Energy subsidiaries signed 17 twenty-year triple-net leases with OpenAI, with rent commencement conditioned on interconnection and generation being available; NVIDIA provided a residual-value guaranty capped at $105B and separately bought $1.5B of non-voting stock. LAND: landAcres is intentionally omitted - the DOE lease covers 189 acres (Batch 1) on which "one data center building is expected to be constructed", while the S-1 places the buildings "across several thousand acres of private property"; the widely-cited 3,700/3,777 acres is the whole federal reservation, which also hosts the separately tracked Oklo Aurora project, Centrus and the DUF6 plant. INVESTMENT: investmentUsd intentionally omitted - $10B (DOE, March) and $30-40B (project site) describe the same ~800 MW first phase and cannot both be right, the $67.2B total appears only as one trade outlet’s unattributed rollup, and the S-1 states no total capex. SUBSIDIES: none awarded - the Ohio Tax Credit Authority minutes record no award, no JobsOhio award was found, and Ohio paused new data-centre tax exemptions in May 2026; a county PILOT is under negotiation because the leased federal land yields no property tax. STATUS: early civil works began after the 2026-03-20 groundbreaking, though the S-1 lists construction as not started, with first capacity in 2028 and full buildout 2032. Distinct from oklo-aurora-pike-county-oh on the same broader site - do not merge or double-count.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

These sources are listed for the whole row. Unless a figure links to its own source, the provider does not mark which one gave it, so a figure may not appear in every source.
