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.

Reported lifecycle history

1. 2026-05-22Proposed

   Application submitted May 4, 2026 and deemed incomplete May 22, 2026; on hold under Iron County's 180-day data center moratorium.

   Underlying source

Source notes

Approximately 8 miles north of Newcastle, roughly 20 miles from Cedar City; application on hold pending the county's data-center moratorium. Subsidies checked (2026-09-08): structural zero — the project is proposed and on hold under Iron County's moratorium, and no Iron County or Newcastle CRA/RDA was found to execute a pre-approval participation agreement; Utah's EDTIF programme excludes data centres and the UCA 59-12-104 exemption is self-executing.

Planned hybrid power: 300MW solar, 1,200MWh battery storage, and 1.5GW natural gas generation.
