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
- Proposed
Aeris Energy (president Barry Bahrman) and Telkite Enterprises (executive director Vikki Kulju) are marketing the former K.I. Sawyer Air Force Base SAGE building and ~1,000 acres for data center use; land owner is Mango Investments LLC. "There's been no permit, no application to the townships or even any end users" identified.
Underlying source
Source notes
Marketing-stage only: no permit, no township application, no end user. Capacity tiers advertised by the promoters (25 MW / 50 MW / 500-1,000 MW, phased) are sales material, not committed capacity, and are not recorded as capacity. Press places the site in Forsyth Township; the OSM geocode for the K.I. Sawyer place resolves inside Sands Township — the former base straddles both, so only the county is asserted here.
Backers describe building an on-site natural gas generator only once an end user is signed; construction of the generator "could take up to two years." No generation capacity or permit has been published.
