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.

Source notes

Distinct from AVAIO's 'Leo' campus in Little Rock/Pulaski County AR — do not conflate. Site: East Metropolitan Center Business and Industrial Park, Brandon. Land acreage: AVAIO's own project page and groundbreaking materials cite 329 acres; the August 19 press release cited 175 acres — 329 used as more authoritative per operator's site. Capacity: 116 MW initial via executed ESA with Entergy Mississippi (energized June 2027 per operator site); Entergy guiding an additional 420 MW of grid power available by end of 2030; access to Gulf South Pipeline for up to 500 MW of on-site behind-the-meter thermal generation starting Q2 2027 — total baseload path to over 1 GW. The 116 MW planned figure reflects the executed first-phase ESA only; full buildout remains a projection. Investment: $6B stated without 'up to' qualifier across operator, MDA, and Governor's office sources; Governor's office describes it as the third-largest economic development project in Mississippi history. Jobs: 'at least 60 direct, high-tech jobs' and 'hundreds of indirect jobs ranging from construction to other related industries' — projections, not firm figures; no construction vs permanent breakdown confirmed. Rooftop solar of 20+ MW planned (behind-the-meter). Recycled water and new sewer line extension cited by operator as water infrastructure options. Estimated $23M in ad valorem tax revenue annually per Rankin First (county economic development group). Coordinates approximate (Brandon city center, Rankin County).

Initial 116 MW grid power via executed ESA with Entergy Mississippi (June 2027 target energization). Additional 420 MW grid power from Entergy projected by end of 2030. On-site thermal generation via Gulf South Pipeline access (up to 500 MW planned, Q2 2027 start) — on-site gas not yet built. Rooftop solar 20+ MW planned. Behind-the-meter generation noted by operator.
