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
Address: 2835 Bilter Rd, Aurora IL (DuPage County). Total campus planned at 96 MW across three buildings. Explicitly purpose-built for high-density AI workloads. Coordinates approximate for Bilter Rd area of north Aurora; address confirmed in operator press release. A confirmed capex figure of ~$300M covers the first building (ORD01-1) only, not the ~96 MW three-building campus; construction-workforce figures (~2,000 full campus) are projections. No Illinois DCEO data-center exemption certification was found for Edged.
Grid-connected; proprietary waterless cooling eliminates cooling-related energy overhead
