Provider notes
Energy. Developer describes a self-generating campus with co-located utility-scale generation and says it would not draw on municipal water or the Wheatland Irrigation District. Fuel type for the co-located generation was not specified in the county proceedings as reported.
Water. Developer describes a closed-loop cooling system with annual water use comparable to 25 to 30 residential homes, and no connection to municipal water or the Wheatland Irrigation District.
Community. Rezoning passed unanimously but public comment was split: neighbors raised Ogallala Aquifer depletion, wildlife habitat (mule deer, elk, 40-plus bird species), noise and scenic impacts on the Goshen Hole Rim, and several residents asked for a moratorium; the county economic development director and some ranching families backed it as transformational for the tax base.
What the source record says
Site is on the Lazy V Six Ranch in Goshen Hole, northeast of Wheatland near the Platte-Goshen county line and roughly 13 miles east of Interstate 25. Permanent jobs were reported as a 250-300 range; the low end is recorded here. No megawatt figure has been published. Coordinates are a geocode from that published description and are not a parcel-confirmed point.
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
- 2026-09 · source-reported permitted
Platte County Commission unanimously approved industrial rezoning of 5,344 acres with conditions, including reversion to prior zoning if construction does not begin within five years, a required special-use permit, and county review of the industrial park plan. Reported by Cowboy State Daily on 2026-09-02; the exact vote date is not restated here because the source's own dating is ambiguous.

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.

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.
