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

Microsoft's first Quincy data center, on land bought in 2006. Began as a 500,000 sq ft building and reached about 800,000 sq ft across two buildings on a 270-acre complex by 2016; reported to draw 30-50 MW in 2012. No current capacity figure is asserted — Microsoft does not release the size or capacity of its Quincy facilities, and the 2012 figure is stale. Microsoft has roughly 400 employees in Quincy across its facilities there. Grant County PUD supplies power. Coordinates are the published minute-precision location (47°14'N 119°52'W).
