Weld County posted stop-work orders on the property on 2026-05-07, 2026-06-11 and again on an unspecified date for un-permitted construction, and issued a formal order to abate on 2026-07-20. The county received hundreds of public comments; the site is in the Use by Special Review process. Windsor states it has not approved or endorsed the project.
Power and water
Poudre Valley REA told the county it can supply only 35 MW until mid-2028, dropping to about 27 MW at the start of 2028 and declining further in 2029, citing limited wholesale supply from Tri-State Generation and Transmission. Global AI's zoning application says later phases would be powered on-site with Bloom solid-oxide fuel cells; no state air permit had been filed as of 2026-07-29.
A Weld County review published 2026-08-07 found the applicant still had to show proof of water supply. Windsor has issued only a non-binding will-serve letter for water and wastewater contingent on annexation.
