Evidence note

Projected operational date. OpenAI [stated](https://openai.com/index/five-new-stargate-sites/) Lordstown and Milam County could scale to 1.5 GW within 18 months of their September 23, 2025 announcement; subtracting Milam County's subsequently disclosed 1.2 GW capacity implies ~300 MW for Lordstown.

Planned capacity is estimated, not metered utility load. Planned does not mean permitted, financed, constructed, or energized. Open each project and methodology before using these figures.
