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
Announced 2026-09-03 by Gov. Morrisey as a separate, distinct project from Nscale's Monarch Compute Campus (also Mason County, ~20 min drive south near Point Pleasant). Governor's office figure of 'approximately 2.16 gigawatts' converted directly to MW (2,160) -- exact stated figure, not a rounded estimate. Project details at projecttamarack.com (not independently retrieved as of September 2026).
Reported to use existing Appalachian Power grid infrastructure rather than dedicated on-site generation, unlike the nearby Nscale/Monarch project.
