Timeline

Land clearing begins.

2026-02-14

Buildings 1 and 2 under construction. Building 1's chillers are almost all in place, while only half of Building 2's are. Optimus substation, which is the substation on site, and the expansion of Dowling Substation, an existing substation to the northeast of the data center, appear complete.

2026-07-30

Roofs of Buildings 1 and 2 are more than halfway complete. All chillers for both buildings are visible. Construction on Buildings 3 and 4 has begun, with outlines laid. Construction on the [Apollo Power Generation Project](https://archive.ph/lqgZw) (a BTM power plant built just to the east of the data center) is in progress, with foundations poured and generation equipment being set in place.

2027-02-01 (projected)

Building 1 is operational, based on a 5 month extrapolation from its roof completion date.

117 MW
2027-04-01 (projected)

Building 2 is operational, based on construction progress as of Sep 2026 and foundations being laid around 2 months after Building 1.

220 MW
2028-01-01 (projected)

Buildings 3 and 4 are operational, based on their construction starting 11 months after Building 1. We assume they are powered by the 350 MW Apollo Power Generation Project.
