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
Facing both a proposed 18-month Town of Brookhaven moratorium and a statewide NY moratorium on hyperscale (50MW+) data centers; developer states the project is still moving ahead.
Underlying source
Source notes
No confirmed street address found as of 2026-09-13 -- sources describe the parcel only as 'west of Sills Road, north side of the LIE North Service Road' in Yaphank. Coordinates are the Yaphank hamlet centroid (OSM Nominatim), not the parcel -- disclosed here per contract rule H; do not treat as parcel-level precision.
Developer says grid-upgrade costs would be paid by the developer, not ratepayers; LIPA said it anticipates no issue serving the load (studies underway).
