What the source record says
No street address given beyond 'the site of a former cold storage warehouse' in Harrington, DE; location pin is Harrington's OSM place centroid (approximate). Article was published 2026-08-19 and refers to a council vote 'Monday' with no explicit calendar date, so statusHistory entries are dated to month-precision (2026-08) only. A separate, still-unidentified 100 MW project appears in Delmarva Power's internal 'Kent County' project list per a 2026-09 Technical.ly FOIA report; that report states press coverage could not confirm whether it is the same project as this one. Treated here as a distinct, unconfirmed lead and NOT merged into this record given the capacity mismatch (24 MW here vs. 100 MW in Delmarva's list) — flagged in the wave summary rather than fabricated into its own record for lack of any name or location.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
