What the source record says
Small telecom colocation/carrier-hotel site in the New Orleans CBD. Existence, operator and street address independently CONFIRMED 2026-09-10 against PeeringDB, the operator-maintained interconnection registry, which lists facility 12396 "Cogent New Orleans" at 650 Poydras St under Cogent Communications, Inc. — the record no longer rests on an aggregator listing alone. The 0.75 MW figure remains aggregator-sourced (Baxtel) and is not corroborated by PeeringDB. Not identified as AI/hyperscale use in any source found.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
