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.
Reported lifecycle history
No dated operational history is established in this record. Publication, discovery and source-update dates are not opening dates.
Source notes
Land purchase from Dell + rezoning approved per DCD and Round Rock city government release; project is Switch's 5th 'Prime' campus, not yet reported as fully operational. AI/HPC (likely): The Rock: exascale data center campus for hyperscale/high-density.
Switch markets a fleet-wide '100% renewable energy' commitment that press coverage repeats for The Rock, but no Texas-specific solar/wind PPA or on-site generation project was found (unlike Nevada's named Switch Station 1&2 / Gigawatt Nevada projects).
