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.

No dated operational history is established in this record. Publication, discovery and source-update dates are not opening dates.
Source notes
A real, currently-operating federal HPC installation on Maui: one of five DoD Supercomputing Resource Centers, run as an Air Force Research Laboratory Center managed by the University of Hawaiʻi since 1993. A new $11,980,000 Department of War contract awarded to UH in January 2026 (work through May 2031, for satellite-resiliency research/modeling) confirms it is still active as of September 2026, not a legacy listing. As of September 2026, none of the three sources then cited published a street address. Business directories (Yelp, Yellow Pages) independently and consistently name 550 Lipoa Pkwy, Kihei as the address, and the US Census geocoder resolves that exact string to a valid address at this zip (96753), although as of September 2026 neither directory page could be retrieved directly. An undated Sandia National Laboratories conference speaker bio for the center's executive director, cited since October 2026, lists 550 Lipoa Parkway, Kihei, HI 96753-6900. The pin is approximate. No AI-specific capability was named in the three sources cited in September 2026 (the recent contract is satellite-resiliency modeling), so no AI classification is recorded.
