The retained source analysis reports a 3,979.63-acre title-survey tract and executed LCRA study and PEC facility-extension agreements associated with a requested 2,100 MW load at 345 kV. These records support a site-specific diligence conversation.
Recorded deed and survey; study/development agreements; a scoped Phase I environmental assessment; preliminary substation and generation planning.
Firm power availability, electric-energy supply, sustainable water, binding fuel terms, resilient connectivity and a tenant ready-for-service date remain to be established.
Preparation basis: this assessment summarizes retained Kilo source analysis and recorded references. Original-document verification is outside this edition’s preparation basis. Confirm cited records against current originals before a commercial commitment.

Use each figure for its stated purpose; the record does not yet establish one governing campus configuration.
| Planning basis | Source figure | Use and unresolved relationship |
|---|---|---|
| Requested utility load | 2,100 MW at 345 kV | Utility study request; firm capacity and energy supply remain open. |
| IT concept and hall geometry | 2,000 MW / four 500 MW halls Separate six-hall schematic | Information technology (IT) load concept. Reconcile hall counts and five KML polygons before adopting a master plan. |
| Substation package | 1,050 MW net · 10% design | Preliminary package; its role within the two-interconnection / 2,100 MW request remains unresolved. |
| Phase 1 generation | 442 engines / 1,105 MW | Preliminary schedule; clarify net output, operating and tenant-load assumptions. |
| Separate generation record | 191 engines / 477.5 MW | Distinct schedule; not a confirmed subset or replacement. |
Do not add these MW figures together. Select the governing phase and configuration only after reconciling the source plans and tenant requirements.
