What the source record says
Net-new but SPECULATIVE — confidence 'rumored' on purpose. A proposed AI/semiconductor industrial campus with its own private power plant, before the Mississippi PSC. Deliberately omitted, because the developer refused to state them: capacity MW, investment, acreage, site parcel, timeline. Prado told Mississippi Today he declined to give the PSC more detail because 'making that information available to the utility companies would take away the project's competitive advantage,' and Prado AI 'is still working on securing all the funding it would need for a project of this size'; the only figure attached to it is Prado's stated LONG-TERM GOAL of 'over $25 billion', which is an aspiration, not an announced investment, and is therefore NOT recorded in investmentUsd. Location: the March PSC filing named Ridgeland, but Prado has since said only 'the Jackson metro area' and declined to say where — coordinates are a Ridgeland city geocode from the filing, precision 'approximate'; if it lands elsewhere in the metro this record needs relocating. Sourced from a Wayback snapshot because mississippitoday.org returns HTTP 403 to direct fetches. Ed's call whether a project this unformed belongs in the dataset at all; the argument for including it is that it is docketed at the PSC and formally opposed by both of the state's major utilities, which is more than a press rumour. NOTE the separate real facility entergy-traceview-ridgeland-ms is also in Ridgeland — unrelated.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
Status history supplied by the source
- 2026-03 · reported proposed
Prado AI, an affiliate of PraCon Global Investment, asked the Mississippi Public Service Commission for an opinion on whether it would be regulated as a public utility if it generated and supplied power to tenants at a potential data center and semiconductor manufacturing campus; its initial filing said the campus would be in Ridgeland and that electricity would be included in the lease and not metered.
- 2026-05-29 · reported proposed
The PSC declined to issue an opinion, calling the request 'premature' and 'hypothetical' and saying it lacked enough information; Commissioner De'Keither Stamps said Prado did not answer basic questions such as how many tenants the power would serve. Prado said the company will proceed anyway.
