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
High-performance computing and data-archival facility in the North Range Business Park, Cheyenne, operated by NCAR for UCAR under a partnership with the State of Wyoming and the University of Wyoming. 153,000 total square feet with 24,000 square feet of raised-floor modules. Coordinates and street are corroborated by the OpenStreetMap building tagged telecom=data_center with operator 'University Corporation for Atmospheric Research'. No megawatt figure is published in the sources read, so no capacity is recorded.
Wind supplies at least 10% of the center's power; the primary grid source is coal.
