Provider notes
Energy. Backers describe building an on-site natural gas generator only once an end user is signed; construction of the generator "could take up to two years." No generation capacity or permit has been published.
What the source record says
Marketing-stage only: no permit, no township application, no end user. Capacity tiers advertised by the promoters (25 MW / 50 MW / 500-1,000 MW, phased) are sales material, not committed capacity, and are deliberately NOT recorded in capacityMw. Press places the site in Forsyth Township; the OSM geocode for the K.I. Sawyer place resolves inside Sands Township — the former base straddles both, so only the county is asserted here.
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.
