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.

   Underlying source

Source notes

Proposed along Steward Drive in Rochelle, which operates its own municipal electric utility. The initial phase would have required at least 48 MW, with later phases expanding to about 150 MW; the recorded planned capacity is the full-build figure. The mayor cited projected Illinois capacity shortfalls from 2029.
