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
- Cancelled
Lockport suspended data center discussions pending broader regulatory frameworks, cancelled all June 2026 workshops and let its letter of intent with VME expire; the city states no facility design was ever proposed.
Underlying source
Source notes
City-owned, remediated brownfield on the former Texaco/Chevron refinery property along the Chicago Sanitary & Ship Canal. The city describes a preliminary 300 MW projection as explicitly unvalidated, so no capacity is recorded. Site utility sheet notes electric service supports only ~10 MW today, with loads above 50 MW requiring new infrastructure on a 36-42 month lead time.
