Source context calls 65 MW power capacity, not operational IT capacity. The upstream row remains attributed below, but this value is not repeated as site capacity.
What the source record says
On Camp Williams (National Guard reservation) in Bluffdale. About 1M sq ft campus with about 100,000 sq ft of data center space and a 65 MW power capacity. Reported cost figures conflict ($1.5B per NSA via DCK vs about $3B per CLUI), so investment is omitted. The coordinates are approximate.
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.
