This is a source-attributed discovery row. It can help you find a place and its citations; it is not a DataCenterData finding that the facility is distinct or currently operating.

Provider notes
Energy. Phase 1 reuses 100 MW of existing capacity at the site's crypto-mining operation; SDV said it would pay for any infrastructure upgrades needed for the added demand.
Water. Closed-loop chilled water system with a one-time fill; projected ~3.6 million gallons/year in total (KSNB), most of it landscaping (~2.24 million gal/yr at full buildout); Central Nebraska Today puts the data center alone at ~1,200 gallons/day.
What the source record says
Multi-phase data center campus at Tech oNE Crossing, east of Antelope Ave. and south of Tech One Blvd/Global Drive, outside Kearney city limits. 368 MW total electrical demand at full build-out. Phase 1 reuses the 100 MW of capacity at the adjacent existing crypto-mining site, which is to be decommissioned after Phase 1; Phase 3 extends onto the former mining property. That mining site is tracked separately as mara-kearney-buffalo-ne; this record is the successor AI/data-center campus, not a duplicate of it. WOWT reports ~112 acres, first phase completion by late 2027 and full capacity around 2030; the tenant is undisclosed under NDA. Permit conditions: development must begin within two years, plus annual hazardous-materials inventory. COORDINATES ARE APPROXIMATE, borrowed from the adjacent mining site on the same Tech oNE Crossing parcel complex.
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.
