What the source record says
About $4 million had been spent on plant renovation as of July 2026, with roughly $171 million planned for modernisation and data center construction; a soft operational test of the repowered plant was targeted for August 2026. Recorded as a data center rather than power generation because the generation is dedicated to the co-located compute; no IT capacity figure has been published, so capacityMw is omitted.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
