What the source record says
Apple data center at 21505 Reno Technology Parkway W, Sparks, Washoe County — the first data center built at the Reno Technology Park, opened December 2012. Per Apple's July 2024 letter in a Nevada GOED tax-abatement board packet, the campus had grown to four data-center buildings plus a power substation across 1,700 acres, with 200+ staff; Apple committed to further investment (a 2024 expansion capex of ~$742M over 5 years / ~$992M over 10 years is documented in the GOED filing). No site-specific IT-load MW is disclosed. Coordinates are an address-level geocode (ArcGIS, exact-address match); a county-parcel pass could upgrade precision to exact.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
