What the source record says
Elliot Road Technology Corridor, Mesa. CEO stated 'Greater Phoenix is fast becoming the AI center of the West.' Expansion land purchase adds 43.87 acres to 40-acre original site. EdgeCore raised $2B equity and $2B debt in 2024. Coordinates approximate for Elliot Road corridor. Arizona's data-center sales/use-tax exemption (A.R.S. Sec. 41-1519) applies by statute, but no campus-specific certified award was publicly verifiable (eligibility != confirmed award); the $150M cited is first-building capex and the $2B equity + $2B debt EdgeCore raised in 2024 is corporate financing, not Mesa-campus capex.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

Campus returned to fully-operational status after the 2025 expansion phase: EdgeCore states it has "worked quickly to construct and commission 206 MW at the site" of a campus now planned for over 450 MW. The 206 MW is cumulative commissioned capacity across phases (the first building has been operational since 2023), not a single phase; remaining expansion buildings are still under construction.
