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
Proposed multi-building hyperscale campus (10 buildings x ~200,000 sq ft, ~2M sq ft total) at the Cave City Industrial Park spanning Cave City and unincorporated Barren County. Combined critical capacity reported as 'about 1,200 megawatts.' Jobs figure of 360 is direct jobs at full build-out (300 data-center operations + 60 power generation, per the source, implying an on-site generation component that, as of September 2026, was not independently confirmed, itemized or listed separately, since no source found stated its own capacity or technology). An additional ~569 indirect/induced jobs were estimated (total ~929) but only the direct figure is recorded here. Developer/operator name is the plaintiff of record in the zoning lawsuit (Kentucky Industrial Alliance LLC), which the coverage also identifies as the current landowner; no separate development-company name was disclosed in the sources checked. Exact parcel location within the industrial park not confirmed -- coordinates are a Cave City town-center pin.
About half the power would come from an adjacent off-grid natural gas-fired plant and the remaining 600 MW from Farmers RECC through EKPC. New transmission lines and substations would be required.
