Evidence note

Buildings 3 and 4 are operational (estimate). In September 2025, Building 1 and 2 appeared to be in a similar state to Building 3 and 4 in May 2026. Based on that, we apply an 8-month delay to the Building 1 and 2 operational date to get the Building 3 and 4 operational date.

Planned capacity is an estimate from reviewed announcements, not metered utility load. Planned does not mean permitted, financed, built or energized.
