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

Hansel Valley and Locomotive Valley, western Box Elder County near Lucin, UT. The project area was about 40,000 acres as approved in spring 2026 (Utah News Dispatch); on June 4, 2026, O'Leary wrote that the company would remove 19,430 acres in and around the Locomotive Springs area and another 620 acres, cutting the area roughly in half (KUER). As of October 2026, no current total area is recorded. 60 planned data centers on initial 10,000-acre phase. 9GW is full-buildout figure; Phase 1 ~3GW. Total cost projected $100B+ at full buildout; only $20M invested as of mid-2026. Designed by Gensler. Environmental permitting via Utah DEQ expected to take ~2 years. MIDA oversight provides state-level approval authority. Coordinates are approximate for western Box Elder County; exact site boundaries unpublished. Subsidies checked at the municipal tier (2026-09-05): no site-level subsidy found. Box Elder County's own Stratos Project Fact Sheet states directly: "No County funds are required to build the project. All funds will come from the developers and private investors." A May 2026 MIDA interlocal agreement covers land-use and permitting review governance (a development review committee, subdivision/site-plan requirements), not a tax-increment or abatement arrangement, and MIDA's own project-area records — which could confirm or rule out a tax-increment component — were unreachable when checked in September 2026 (mida.utah.gov redirected to an unrelated login page). Utah's EDTIF programme excludes data centres and the UCA 59-12-104 exemption is self-executing.

Ruby Pipeline (680-mile interstate natural gas line) runs through Hansel Valley; 3,000-acre solar array planned; fully off-grid design
