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 14706 Schram Rd, Papillion, Sarpy County — announced Feb 2019 (built under shell entity Fireball Group LLC / 'Project Wizard'), a $600M project on ~275 acres, groundbreaking Oct 2019, operational ~2021. Confirmed by Google's own Nebraska location page (which lists Papillion, Omaha, and Lincoln as Google Nebraska sites). DISTINCT from the separate tracked proposed Google/Tenaska gas-plant project in SE Nebraska (Gage/Otoe area). No site-specific IT-load MW is disclosed. Coordinates are an approximate geocode of the disclosed Schram Rd address; a county-parcel pass could upgrade precision to exact.
Google and OPPD built a joint procurement framework enabling Google to supply carbon-free energy resources to OPPD in support of Google's 24/7 clean energy goal, anchored by the Pierce County Energy Center — a 420 MW solar system with 680 MWh of battery storage expected online in 2027.
