Capacity
upper end of stated 1–3 GW design range 3 GW onsite generation planned · campus scope
DNR describes a planned onsite natural-gas generation system designed for 1–3 GW and a behind-the-meter configuration in which the HPC facility would consume generated electricity onsite. 3,000 MW is only the upper end of that planned generation-design range. It is not critical-IT capacity, utility-request or approved-service capacity, measured or current load, grid export, built generation, permitted generation, or an aggregation input.
Location
North Slope Borough, AK
approximate — Approximate proposed-site bounds from DNR's PLSS description and four approximate corner coordinates: approximately one mile west of Dalton Highway Milepost 390 and approximately 26 miles south of Deadhorse. This is not asserted as a surveyed or perfected lease boundary. No street address, city, centroid or third-party coordinate is published.
Physical scale
Physical scale: The proposed state surface-lease area is approximately 715.4 acres. DNR describes an approximately 640-acre principal gravel pad and a planned 1.8-mile gravel access road within the project description. These are proposed lease, pad and road figures, not developed acreage, data-hall area, floor area, building count, commissioned scale, or capacity.

What the sources support

Alaska DNR's Preliminary Decision says STAK Energy Corporation applied for a 50-year state-land lease and that the Division proposes to issue a negotiated lease for a commercial natural-gas-powered data-center/HPC campus. The decision is a preliminary best-interest finding that proceeded to public notice; a later official notice extended comments through July 17, 2026. DNR expressly says this is one component of a broader permitting process, that the final finding, entry authorization, perfected lease, pipeline right-of-way, air, water, wetlands and other approvals are separate, and that plan updates require written approval before construction. No selected record establishes the final finding, entry authorization, executed lease, construction, energization, completion, or operation.
