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
PathOne presented early plans for a small-scale data center to the Ida County Board of Supervisors, naming two industrial-zoned candidate sites — the shuttered Quad County ethanol plant near Galva and a site near Arthur. No site has been selected and no application has been filed.
Underlying source
Source notes
PathOne described a 10-25 MW facility of about 40,000 sq ft on 5-25 acres costing $100-150 million; because those are ranges rather than single figures, capacity, land acreage and investment are not recorded. The pin is at the Galva option (the shuttered Quad County ethanol plant, which PathOne named specifically); the alternative site near Arthur is about 20 km south and no selection has been made. Distinct from the tracked PathOne Sioux County (Hull) site.
