What the source record says
Approximately 8 miles north of Newcastle, roughly 20 miles from Cedar City; application on hold pending the county's data-center moratorium. Subsidies checked (2026-09-08): structural zero — the project is proposed and on hold under Iron County's moratorium, and no Iron County or Newcastle CRA/RDA was found to execute a pre-approval participation agreement; Utah's EDTIF programme excludes data centres and the UCA 59-12-104 exemption is self-executing.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
