What the source record says
Chester, Chesterfield County — first phase of a Blue Owl / Chirisa / PowerHouse JV: initial 50 MW (2025) → 120 MW facility, with a ~1 GW eventual plan (in notes). $600M construction loan closed. Distinct parcel from Google's Midlothian (Chesterfield) campus. Coordinates are the Chester area centroid. The $600M is a construction loan (financing) and the $5B is the multi-site JV total - neither is this campus's capex -> investmentUsd omitted. 800-1,200 jobs projected over 5-7 years spanning construction and operations -> jobs honest-zero. Virginia law bars per-company data-center subsidy disclosure -> subsidy honest-zero. Joint venture with Chirisa Technology Parks and Blue Owl Real Estate.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
