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.
Reported lifecycle history
- Proposed
State incentive agreement executed June 2026, before the program pause took effect on 1 July 2026; the City of Rockford was not a party to the agreement.
Underlying source
Source notes
Phased 1,400 MW campus on roughly 1,300 acres south of Chicago–Rockford International Airport. The state agreement requires the facility in service by 11 March 2031, carbon neutrality within two years of operations starting, a minimum 20-year operating term and at least 100 employees (74 operations, 20 maintenance, 6 executive). The investment amount in the published agreement is redacted; the program's statutory floor is $250 million, so no investment figure is recorded here.
