Timeline
Land clearing begins.
Building 1 and 2 look complete but we don't think they are operational, as the substation is still under construction.
Still not many cars parked at Building 1 and 2, and the east substation looks very close to completion, based on a [Google Earth image](https://earth.google.com/web/@37.48655608,-77.24244153,55.96289131a,2859.52501034d,30.00094375y,0h,0.5917603t,0r/data=ChYqEAgBEgoyMDI0LTA2LTIzGAFCAggBMikKJwolCiExWVNYSWZQZkcydXVMYm1nUDkyc2NObE1QenF1VGRVV2cgAToDCgEwQgIIAEoICMOJgf0CEAE).
Building 1 and 2 are operational, based on the east substation looking complete and the carparks being more full. Building 3 has cooling and generators mostly installed. Building 4 roof is partly completed.
101 MWThe west substation looks complete, based on a [Google Earth image](https://earth.google.com/web/@37.48673632,-77.24119214,61.15398527a,3616.77426559d,30.00094375y,0.00000001h,0.59183057t,0r/data=CgwqBggBEgAYAUICCAEyKQonCiUKITFZU1hJZlBmRzJ1dUxibWdQOTJzY05sTVB6cXVUZFVXZyABOgMKATBCAggASggIw4mB_QIQAQ). This image also shows one corner of Building 5 that still has construction work, so it's probably not operational.
101 MWBuilding 3 and 4 are operational, based on the substation being completed earlier, the buildings looking complete, and carparks being moderately full. Building 5 still has construction work.
202 MWBuilding 5 still has construction work at the perimeter, but given how close it looks to completion, we estimate it's only about 3 months away from operational.
202 MWBuilding 5 is estimated to be operational, based on the previous entry.
