Provider notes
Energy. KSHB (2024) says the site will be powered with 400 MW of carbon-free solar from the Beavertail Solar farm under a power purchase agreement with Ranger Power and D. E. Shaw Renewable Investments; Google's Kansas City page also cites 400 MW of new-to-the-grid carbon-free capacity. The 400 MW is contracted supply, not the campus load.
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.
- Power source: The structured supply label and changed PPA description do not establish the same supply scope; withheld pending reconciliation.
What the source record says
Google's first Kansas City-area campus, in Hunt Midwest Business Center, Northland, Clay County, announced by Hunt Midwest on 20 March 2024 as a new $1 billion Google data center. Distinct from google-project-mica-kc-northland-mo (Project Mica, the second campus); the Kansas City Star reports Google's Evergy agreement covers energy costs for 'both' campuses, and Google's own Kansas City page lists two new data centers, status 'In development'. Location: the 2023 Baxtel report on Google's planning applications (filed under the alias Shalerock LLC) places the work between NE Parvin Road and N Arlington Avenue, and the land comprises 78.9 acres bought in 2019 plus 236.4 acres bought in December 2021 (315.3 acres in total). The pin is the OpenStreetMap node where NE Parvin Road meets N Arlington Avenue (39.17256, -94.46443); the campus lies in the surrounding Hunt Midwest land, so it is approximate. A third-party Baxtel listing gives 9900 NE Parvin Rd, which Nominatim and the Census geocoder could not resolve to a building, so it is not used; a 2019 Baxtel report separately describes the 78-acre parcel as the former AK Steel site near MO-210 and N Arlington Avenue. Code name 'Project Shale': appears in two 2019 reports (Institutional Real Estate, Inc. and Baxtel, both relaying local coverage of the 22 July 2019 Port KC board meeting) for the 78-acre Hunt Midwest parcel. The 2023 Baxtel report ties the same 78.9-acre 2019 purchase to Shalerock LLC, and Shalerock/Shale is consistent, but no 2024-2026 source fetched uses 'Project Shale' for the $1 billion campus, so the identification is an inference from the shared site, not a stated one (hence confidence 'reported'). Status: only Google's 2026 statement (via the Kansas City Star) is dated and says 'under construction'; Google's own page says 'In development'. Baxtel's listing says 'Operational' with year built 2025, which conflicts and is not relied on; no source fetched reports the campus opening. A 2024 announcement reportedly expected the first data center online in 2025 (not independently confirmed here). Investment: $1 billion announced March 2024 (the 2019 report cited $600 million). Baxtel lists up to 1.435 million sq ft in four phases plus ancillary buildings on 315 acres, which matches the 2023 planning filing as reported, and Evergy as utility; no per-building size or count is stated. No facility MW load is stated in any source fetched; the 400 MW is new carbon-free generation (Beavertail Solar) contracted to offset demand, not the campus load.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
