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

No street address given beyond 'the site of a former cold storage warehouse' in Harrington, DE; location pin is Harrington's OSM place centroid (approximate). Article was published 2026-08-19 and refers to a council vote 'Monday' with no explicit calendar date, so the status history is dated to month precision (2026-08) only. A separate, still-unidentified 100 MW project appears in Delmarva Power's internal 'Kent County' project list per a 2026-09 Technical.ly FOIA report; that report states press coverage could not confirm whether it is the same project as this one. Treated as a distinct, unconfirmed lead and not merged into this record given the capacity mismatch (24 MW here vs. 100 MW in Delmarva's list) — it is not listed as a separate record as of September 2026, for lack of any name or location.
