AAIM Nebraska 1 (Aurora)

operational

Capacity conflict: the Aurora News-Register and AAIM's own announcement describe an initial 5 MW expanding to a targeted 15 MW within the first year, while datacentermap lists 15 MW; AAIM's home page separately shows a 10 MW figure. Recorded as requested_load_mw 15 with the conflict preserved. NPPD named as the power provider in the Aurora News-Register interview. Possible duplicate of the Fortitude Aurora site (TEMP-33) - both are Aurora, NE facilities with a privately owned 67 kV substation - but no fetched source states that Fortitude acquired AAIM Nebraska 1.
