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
Preliminary estimate of at least 17 total DC buildings across both Louisa campuses combined; ~628 of the 1,444-acre assemblage held as open space, ~380 acres to be donated to the county for a public park. No formal local rezoning/SUP filing yet as of the cited meeting — status set to permitted cautiously based on land-disturbance-adjacent county process; 3GW is a stated potential ceiling from 10 substations, not a committed buildout. Status corrected to proposed: no formal permit or site plan filed as of the Nov 2024 Planning Commission buffer/landscaping discussion (still exploratory). 'Up to 3 GW' = ten 300 MW substations (a ceiling, not permitted capacity). Public-reception check (2026-09-10): North Creek Technology Campus (NCTC) is confirmed distinct from a third AWS Louisa County proposal (near Northeast Creek Reservoir/Mineral) that Amazon withdrew 2025-07-25/28 after strong resident opposition ("Please don't Loudoun Louisa... Please say no to this additional data center," per a July 2025 board-of-supervisors public-comment session). NCTC itself was one of two AWS campuses approved by-right under the county's Technology Overlay District and moved to construction without the surge of documented opposition seen on the third project. No hearing/vote record specific to NCTC was found. Checked: Virginia Business, a Louisa data-center timeline site, and a local Substack covering county supervisors' meetings.
