Draft source-family roster and gaps
  • economic development incentives — searched

    Source references: TN-S0001, TN-S0002, TN-S0003, TN-S0004, TN-S0005

    • No state announcement was found for any Tennessee data center after 2020, so recent projects have no state incentive record in this packet.
    • Tennessee's FastTrack grant awards and any per-project incentive documents were not searched.
    • The web search tool budget for this session was exhausted before Tennessee was reached, so this family was audited by direct site search only.
  • utility commission large load — searched_partial

    Source references: TN-S0006, TN-S0007

    • No TVA board record, power supply agreement, long-term load contract or large-load tariff was retrieved.
    • Memphis Light, Gas and Water, Nashville Electric Service and the other local power companies that actually serve these loads were not searched.
    • Whether the Tennessee Public Utility Commission has any docket touching a data center was not established.
  • environmental construction permits — searched_partial

    Source references: TN-S0008, TN-S0009, TN-S0010

    • No air, water, stormwater, building or grading permit was obtained for any Tennessee candidate.
    • The Shelby County Health Department permits for the xAI Memphis turbines and the Air Pollution Control Board appeal history are entirely unevidenced here.
    • Copies of the xAI permit appeal filings exist on advocacy sites, but a document hosted by an advocacy group keeps that discovery class, so they were not used as permit evidence.
  • municipal planning assessor gis — searched

    Source references: TN-S0011, TN-S0012

    • No Tennessee assessor or GIS parcel record was queried, so no candidate carries a verbatim parcel ID.
    • Memphis, Shelby County, Hamilton County, Sumner County, Montgomery County, Knox County, Warren County and Bradley County land-use records were not reached.
    • No individual Nashville zoning case file was opened; only matter titles were read through the API.
  • tax abatement development agreements — searched_partial

    Source references: TN-S0013, TN-S0014

    • The statutory Tennessee qualified data center exemption, its investment and job thresholds and any list of certified recipients were not documented.
    • No county or municipal PILOT, tax increment or development agreement was located for any Tennessee data center, including the reported Hamilton County lease for the former jail building.
    • Whether DOE awarded any Oak Ridge lease after the December 2025 deadline was not established.
  • operator disclosures — searched_partial

    Source references: TN-S0015, TN-S0016, TN-S0017

    • Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, Oracle and Apple disclose no Tennessee site and were not separately checked.
    • Colocation operator pages for DataBank, DC BLOX, EdgeConneX, Flexential, TierPoint, Centersquare and RadiusDC were not opened; those candidates rest on the Compute Atlas extract.
    • xAI publishes no site page that was reached.
  • open datasets directories — searched

    Source references: TN-S0018

    • No commercial directory was consulted.
    • Capacity values carried in the extract were not transcribed into candidates because the extract's numeric fields have no verbatim source phrase attached; only figures quoted from records fetched in this session were recorded.
  • historical closures withdrawals names — searched_partial

    Source references: TN-S0019

    • No Tennessee data center closure, demolition or acquisition was located; the only closure in the extract is a crypto-mining site, which is out of scope.
    • The DC BLOX eminent domain authorization, the developer's suit and the two pending zoning challenges are unevidenced here.
    • No archived operator pages were checked for renamed Tennessee facilities beyond the Facebook to Meta rename.
  • news and other discovery — not_searched

    Source references:

    • No news sweep was performed for Tennessee at all, which is the main reason several large 2024-2026 projects rest only on the dataset extract.

No reviewed records published. This does not mean there are no data centers in this state.
