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

Existing 228,000 sq ft building at 80 Merritt Blvd, Trumbull, CT, built in 1960 (originally for Nasdaq per the operator's account); currently operated by CogNovum. Aphorio Carter acquired the property in 2024. On 2026-05-06, 365 Data Centers and Aphorio Carter announced a ~200MW AI-ready data-center pipeline across six US markets; Trumbull is named as a site 'under evaluation' for AI-focused upgrades to this existing building, with letters of intent not yet signed for it (only Aurora, CO and Simpsonville, KY had signed LOIs as of the release). The operator's CEO described the plan as upgrading an existing facility on existing power infrastructure, not new construction: "We are simply updating an existing, historic facility to ensure we can continue serving our customers effectively, while supporting the town with local jobs and substantial tax revenue." No MW, investment, or job-count figures were published for the current facility. Coordinates cross-checked: US Census geocoder (41.240871, -73.146313) and the OSM building footprint (41.2407281, -73.1474121) agree within ~100m; the OSM point is used per the mapped-building preference. Flagging for awareness, not asserted as fact: OSM's building tag for this address (as retrieved 2026-09-12) reads "Digital Realty New York HVN10," which is not corroborated by any 2026 source found in this search and may reflect a prior/stale ownership label rather than current fact.

The owner committed to no additional electrical draw beyond the site's existing capacity; the operator lists 6.75 MW of UPS capacity
