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

  1. Proposed

    Rocklocker LLC (through project name 'Kalkaska Go') proposed a hyperscale data center campus with a captive on-site natural-gas power plant and carbon capture on 1,440 acres of Michigan DNR-managed state land, projecting roughly $35M/year in local tax revenue.

    Underlying source
  2. Cancelled

    Rocklocker withdrew the proposal after public opposition and the DNR's rejection of the state-land purchase request.

Source notes

Location is a representative point at Island Lake in Kalkaska Township, Kalkaska County -- the state-land parcel was never assigned a street address in any source found (checked 2026-09-13). Coverage places it 'near Island Lake and South River roads'; a data-center directory listing (baxtel.com) separately gives 'N River Rd, Kalkaska Township, MI' for the same withdrawn project -- the two road names were not reconciled to a single confirmed segment, so precision is set to approximate rather than exact. A community informational meeting tied to this project was separately reported as scheduled/cancelled in Coldsprings Township, a different township in the same county; that is the meeting venue, not the project site.

Proposed as a 'net-zero' design with an on-site natural gas power plant paired with carbon-capture technology intended to sequester emissions in the local Antrim Shale formation (Traverse Ticker, retrieved 2026-09-13). No MW figure for either the data center or the power plant was published; coverage described it only as 'gigawatt-scale' and 'multi-billion-dollar', which are not numeric figures and are not recorded.
