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

No planned data-center capacity is recorded. A 1,000 MW figure for the site describes generation, not data-center capacity: when the county approved the bonds, developers said the microgrid "would produce 700 to 900 megawatts of power in its first phase, ranging up to one gigawatt" (Albuquerque Journal, December 2025). Epoch AI models the campus at 2.2 GW of planned capacity.

Developers dropped the earlier plan for natural-gas turbine microgrids and now propose Bloom Energy natural-gas fuel cells that "would generate up to 2.45 gigawatts to power the data center, replacing previously planned gas turbines and diesel generators"; they withdrew their initial permit application to the New Mexico Environment Department and filed a new one detailing the fuel cells (Santa Fe New Mexican). The developer has committed to 100% carbon-free energy by 2045 via solar and battery storage.
