What the source record says
Referred to locally as 'Salem 3'. A 39-building campus (subject to change) assembled from more than 4,000 acres across roughly 194-200 landowners, with at least 80% of the assembled land intended to remain undeveloped green space. Stated potential power demand is roughly 3.5 to 4 gigawatts; capacityMw.planned records the lower bound of that published range. The group describes it as 'an energy and infrastructure development, not simply a data center development', with plans for an accompanying generation facility. Land-purchase figures are reported variously as a $1.2 billion deal and $1.4 billion in land purchases; because these are land prices rather than project investment, no investmentUsd is recorded. Coordinate is a township-centroid geocode shared with the separate QTS 'Salem 2' record.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
