To be developed on the site of Calpine's York 2 Energy Center, an 828 MW dual-fuelled combined-cycle gas turbine station, giving direct access to on-site power. Calpine is an Energy Capital Partners subsidiary.

The 828 MW figure is the existing Calpine generating station's capacity, not the data center's IT load, no compute capacity has been published. The $5 billion is the announced site investment; the separately reported $90 billion figure is a statewide multi-company pledge and is not attributed here.

- Permanent jobs promised
- Land area
- Which utility serves it
Which document closes each gap

- The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
- Cooling method and water use
- The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.

- Land area
- The rezoning application, the plat, or the deed recorded with the county.
