Provider notes
Energy. Proposed energy-independent design using Bloom Energy fuel cells for on-site power generation, per servercountry.org; closed-loop water cooling system.
Water. 500,000 gallons for initial fill; ~250,000 gallons/year thereafter, per proposal terms discussed at the August 20, 2026 city council meeting.
Community. At an Aug 19, 2026 Spanish Fork City Council public hearing, nearly two hours of public comment ran almost unanimously against the project over unverified environmental claims, wildlife/water-resource risk, and proximity to residences; the council tabled the Title 15 zoning amendments the project needs to proceed.
What the source record says
Proposed retrofit of a ~1M sq ft former Fingerhut distribution warehouse at the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon; faced significant resident opposition at an August 20, 2026 public hearing; not yet zoned for the use. Subsidies checked at the municipal tier (2026-09-05): no site-level subsidy found. The company is on record declining to seek one: "Volition is not requesting any tax breaks, Chavez said, and instead would be generating around $44 million in tax revenue for the city, school district and other taxing entities." No Spanish Fork RDA/CRA project area or participation agreement naming Volition or the site was located. Utah's EDTIF programme excludes data centres and the UCA 59-12-104 exemption is self-executing.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

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.
