What the source record says
Officially "PORTS-Pike Technology Campus"; formerly tracked under the pre-announcement Ohio entity New Day Data Centers LLC, a name that appears nowhere in the SEC S-1 or SB Energy’s own announcements. Developer/operator is SB Energy (SoftBank-controlled); the DOE lease was signed 2026-02-26 by its subsidiary Pike County Portsmouth DC LLC. CAPACITY - three distinct figures that must not be conflated: 8.0 GW-IT of contracted compute (8,024 MW-IT; NVIDIA guarantees the initial 4.25 GW-IT with an option on the remaining 3.78 GW-IT), 10 GW of gross power load (the capacityMw.planned value here), and 9.2 GW of new gas generation. OFFTAKE: on 2026-08-17 SB Energy subsidiaries signed 17 twenty-year triple-net leases with OpenAI, with rent commencement conditioned on interconnection and generation being available; NVIDIA provided a residual-value guaranty capped at $105B and separately bought $1.5B of non-voting stock. LAND: landAcres is intentionally omitted - the DOE lease covers 189 acres (Batch 1) on which "one data center building is expected to be constructed", while the S-1 places the buildings "across several thousand acres of private property"; the widely-cited 3,700/3,777 acres is the whole federal reservation, which also hosts the separately tracked Oklo Aurora project, Centrus and the DUF6 plant. INVESTMENT: investmentUsd intentionally omitted - $10B (DOE, March) and $30-40B (project site) describe the same ~800 MW first phase and cannot both be right, the $67.2B total appears only as one trade outlet’s unattributed rollup, and the S-1 states no total capex. SUBSIDIES: none awarded - the Ohio Tax Credit Authority minutes record no award, no JobsOhio award was found, and Ohio paused new data-centre tax exemptions in May 2026; a county PILOT is under negotiation because the leased federal land yields no property tax. STATUS: early civil works began after the 2026-03-20 groundbreaking, though the S-1 lists construction as not started, with first capacity in 2028 and full buildout 2032. Distinct from oklo-aurora-pike-county-oh on the same broader site - do not merge or double-count.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
