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

2101 Brightseat Road, Landover MD. Project has final plan approvals but is politically frozen pending task force report. Five buildings on 87 acres of former mall site. As a permitted-but-frozen project, no facility-specific water design, subsidy award, or committed job figures have been disclosed; job figures circulating in press are Maryland Tech Council sector benchmarks, not Brightseat commitments. As of 2026-09-10, status remains permitted (the status vocabulary has no value for 'construction paused by opposition/moratorium'). Groundbreaking has not occurred; community opposition (more than 23,000 petition signatures) and PG County Council ordinances CB-019-2026/CB-020-2026 (introduced March 2026 to repeal the qualified-data-center site-plan-review exemption) continue to threaten the timeline. Subsidies: as of September 2026, only a general-program reference was found (MD/PG County 2020 sales-and-use tax exemption for qualified data centers, Tax-General Article Sec.11-239(a)(5)(i)) with no site-specific dollar figure for this project, so no subsidy is recorded; the exemption is a program-level fact only. As of September 2026, no street address had been independently sourced; the status history cites 2101 Brightseat Road from an earlier source.

Prince George's County is Pepco (Exelon) service territory. The 820 MW campus holds final plan approvals and has been politically frozen since a September 2025 county-executive order. A county council moratorium on new data center applications is also in force, but Nature Forward (July 2026) reports that it does not block this project's existing approvals. As of October 2026, no cited source discloses interconnection/PJM or on-site generation details.
