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
Public-reception check (2026-09-10): Checked the Construction Dive article (2026-09-10) about this $600M, 290,000 sq ft facility (Whiting-Turner as general contractor); it covers only project economics and site-selection rationale ('energy infrastructure, developable land and available workforce'). No community reaction, hearing, or official statement documented in this source -- despite The Dalles being a site with an extensively documented history of Google water-use controversy in past years, none of that appears in this particular article, so it is not reflected here.
