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

1,300-acre former phosphate mine site; 200-acre data center footprint. 20-year development agreement approved by Fort Meade City Commission approximately April 15, 2026. Requires 1.2 GW of electricity. No identified lessee or buyer publicly disclosed. Water use reduced in plans from 140,000 to 50,000 gallons daily; Southwest Florida Water Management District approval pending separately. Florida SB 484 signed May 2026 added new state-level data center siting requirements. Coordinates are Fort Meade city centroid; actual site is former phosphate mine outside city limits. As of 2026-09-10, the record remains listed as proposed. The 20-year development agreement was unanimously approved by Fort Meade commissioners (2026-04-15), but two resident lawsuits filed 2026-05-14 seek to void that approval and block construction-permit issuance (trial scheduled November 2027), and a recall effort against three commissioners is itself now in litigation (Commissioner Matthew Taylor sued 2026-09-09 to stop the recall). No groundbreaking reported. An exact street address has not been found in public reporting (site described only as 'west of US-98' on former phosphate-mine land). The Florida Department of Commerce letter of April 15, 2026 describes the project as "nestled off SR-17" and within the vicinity of US 98, SR 62, and SR 64.

Expected to be powered by Duke Energy (near its Hines Energy Complex); Fort Meade residents currently receive power through the Florida Municipal Power Agency. No on-site generation reported.
