What the source record says
Reported as the first Meta facilities explicitly dedicated to AI/ML workloads. Existing campus is 750 acres. IRBs authorize tax-exempt bond financing for construction materials — the $7.5B per series is the authorized principal ceiling, not a direct cash subsidy. Meta required to invest $350M into expansion by year 10 under agreement. Operating entity: Greater Kudu LLC.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
