What the source record says
Sentinel Data Centers LLC is headquartered in New York City. JGT2 Redevelopment purchased the former Pixelle Specialty Solutions mill in December 2023. ~425,000 sq ft of obsolete mill buildings demolished; paper machines shipped to Pakistan. In June 2026 Sentinel notified JGT2 of intent not to move forward; no permits were issued and no groundbreaking was held. JGT2 is seeking other operators for the site.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

- 2026-06 · source-reported cancelled
Sentinel Data Centers withdrew from the Androscoggin Mill project and halted work in June 2026 (after Gov. Mills vetoed a statewide 20MW+ data-center moratorium that had been intended to protect it). Per the JGT2 mill-redevelopment team, the site itself is 'not dead' — the 82MW (expandable) power infrastructure and rail access remain, and JGT2 is seeking a new data-center operator or industrial tenant.
