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
Applicant of record Jonathon Rhine; property owned by Cary-based Helix Ventures; the campus is reported to be operated by Dallas-headquartered CyrusOne. Phase 1 is roughly 56 acres and 300,000 sq ft of the 428.85-acre application, with a 90 MW IT load. About 150 residents spoke against it at a July 2026 county commissioners meeting. The $900M figure is the reported value of the Phase 1 building, not the whole 430-acre program.
Central Electric Membership Corporation issued a 'will serve' letter; the application does not include on-site power generation.
