What the source record says
Announced 2026-09-03 by Gov. Morrisey as a separate, distinct project from Nscale's Monarch Compute Campus (also Mason County, ~20 min drive south near Point Pleasant). Governor's office figure of 'approximately 2.16 gigawatts' converted directly to MW (2,160) -- exact stated figure, not a rounded estimate. Project details at projecttamarack.com (not independently fetched this run).
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
