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.

Underlying source
Source notes
About 900 acres of farmland northeast of Salix, voluntarily annexed from Woodbury County by the Salix City Council in April 2026, being considered for a data center campus. Google confirmed on 2026-08-03 that it is exploring a future data center in the Salix area; Google said it will not pursue local real estate property tax abatements or rebates. MidAmerican stressed 'This is not a project announcement, development agreement or request for approval.' No investment, capacity or building count has been published.
MidAmerican Energy affiliate Midwest Capital Group acquired options on the property and said it plans to transfer them to a future electric customer for development.
