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. Proposed

    Project leaked via documents from a Nebraska public power district meeting in January 2026; Flatwater Free Press and Grist reported in March 2026; Google and Tenaska declined comment; neither has officially confirmed

    Underlying source

Source notes

Exact site is unknown and undisclosed. Tenaska has optioned over 2,600 acres across Gage, Lancaster, Otoe, and Cass Counties in SE Nebraska since December 2025. Coordinates are approximate centroid of the Otoe/Gage County search area. Reported power requirement for the data center is 1,000–3,000 MW, a range; no single planned capacity is recorded. Google has invested $3.5B in Nebraska since 2019 across existing Papillion, Omaha, and Lincoln data centers. Legislative feasibility depends on LB1261; could be operational by 2029 if approved.

Tenaska (Omaha-based) to build and operate a privately owned combined-cycle natural gas plant; capacity potentially exceeding twice Nebraska's largest existing plant (1,365 MW Gerald Gentleman Station); carbon capture technology planned; Tallgrass Energy potentially to supply gas and transport captured CO2 (Tallgrass later denied involvement); project contingent on passage of Nebraska LB1261 permitting private generators to interconnect with public utility grids. Under the governor's bill, Flatwater Free Press reports, the power plant would have to be on the same property as or next to the industrial user; as of August 2026, no source found stated a generating capacity figure for the plant. Reporting says the campus could produce more than twice the 1,365 MW produced by Gerald Gentleman Station, implying roughly 2,730 MW; that is an inference and is not recorded as a structured figure.
