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.

   Air Force request for lease proposals for AI data center development at JBER, Eielson AFB and Clear SFS; proposals due May 29, 2026; no developer selected

   Underlying source

Source notes

Enhanced Use Lease offering: 5 sites at JBER of about 60 to nearly 200 acres each (per ADN). The ~4,700 acres and 12 parcels are totals across all three Alaska installations, not this site. Coordinates are approximate (base location).

The RFLP says JBER sites have insufficient power and need a new Chugach Electric connection. Chugach said it does not currently have gas to serve a large data center. Developers must secure their own power and water.
