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.

Underlying source
Source notes
Google data center at 42575 Arcola Blvd in the Arcola area of Loudoun County (Northern Virginia 'Data Center Alley') — the ~91-acre 'Arcola Center' parcel was purchased in 2017 for $58M (a land cost, not total capex), and the ARA1A building is operational (built 2020 per baxtel). DISTINCT from Google's tracked Chester and Midlothian (Richmond-area) Virginia campuses. No site-specific IT-load MW is disclosed. Coordinates are an approximate geocode of the disclosed Arcola Blvd address; a county-parcel pass could upgrade precision to exact.
AES signed a 10-year deal to supply 90% carbon-free power (500 MW wind/solar/hydro/battery portfolio) to Google's Loudoun County data centers starting 2021, but coverage names the county-wide facility set ("two major facilities... a third under construction"), not Arcola specifically.
