Power and water

Developer plans a dedicated solar and battery storage park, including a 640-acre solar farm in western Lawrence County, to help power the data park; no MW stated.

Notes on the record

Bloomington, MN-based Geronimo Power is evaluating eastern Jasper County, near Sarcoxie and La Russell, for a hyperscale data center plus a solar and battery park to help power it. Residents cite property along County Road 20. On ~March 30, 2026 Geronimo presented a related 640-acre solar farm in western Lawrence County to that county's commission; it is not recorded separately here. No end user is named. A 450 MW figure seen in an aggregator search summary was paywalled on the page itself, so no capacity is recorded. Coordinates are the La Russell community point (approximate); the site is described as near La Russell.

What the record does not establish, and the document that would

In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.

  • Power capacity in megawatts
  • Cooling method and water use
  • Tax abatements or other public subsidy
  • Permanent jobs promised
  • Land area
  • Which utility serves it
Which document closes each gap
Power capacity in megawatts
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.
Permanent jobs promised
The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
Land area
The rezoning application, the plat, or the deed recorded with the county.
Which utility serves it
The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.

Distances are between recorded coordinates, many of which are a city or county centroid, so treat them as approximate. Cumulative load on one utility and one aquifer is the question a planning commission rarely asks.
