Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.

Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.

No dated operational history is established in this record. Publication, discovery and source-update dates are not opening dates.

Source notes

Proposed data center (Marshall Technology & Energy Center, MTEC) plus a co-located natural-gas electric generation facility within Brooks Industrial Park, Marshall. WWMT (2026-04) resolves the load split that earlier reporting left open: up to 1,400 MW required at full buildout, around 1,000 MW of that from on-site gas turbines and up to 400 MW imported from the grid at peak; the 1 GW plant is carried both in the on-site generation figure and as its own power-generation record. ~270 acres (112 buildable), roughly half wetlands. Alterra (Toronto-based) estimates 300-500 direct high-skill jobs. Mayor Wolfersberger (2026-01) called it "just a concept" with "no site plans or utility agreements yet"; due diligence runs into Q3 2026, then construction is "probably 18 months to two years away" if approved. Land is already zoned heavy industrial, so no public referendum is required (unlike Augusta Township). Planned closed-loop liquid cooling. Coordinates are an approximate Marshall-area estimate, not parcel-geocoded; the LDFA purchase price ($1.12M) is for land only, not a project investment figure. In August 2026 the Marshall mayor said Alterra had decided not to build the gas plant, cutting the project's energy use by 60%, and called it "more of an enterprise-class data center now" (WWMT). Planned capacity is left unfilled: the source's ceiling ('up to 1,400 megawatts') describes the initial concept with the gas plant, and as of October 2026 none of the cited sources states a revised figure. Jobs are left unfilled rather than normalized: the source gives a range ('300 to 500 skilled jobs') that does not distinguish construction from permanent. The $1.12M is the land purchase price, not project investment.

At full buildout the campus could require up to 1,400 MW: roughly 1,000 MW from a co-located natural-gas turbine plant on site, plus up to 400 MW imported from the grid at peak. As of August 2026, the generation plant is tracked separately as Marshall Technology & Energy Center Gas Generation.
