SOURCE RECORD

Google Project Mica Campus: source record

under construction

Reported at 700 MW by Port KC-derived reporting (missouridatacenters.org, servercountry.org); Google has not published a load figure, so no MW field is asserted. Five buildings / 1.56M sq ft per Port KC filings. Rocky Branch Creek Technology Park phase one described as 208,000 sq ft plus an Evergy substation, with long-term build-out of 1.8M sq ft over six phases - conflicting with the 1.56M sq ft five-building figure. QTS was an earlier prospective customer that withdrew over power timelines.

CONFLICTING

Google's filings for the Rocky Branch Creek Technology Park describe a phase one of 208,000 sq ft plus an Evergy substation, with long-term build-out of 1.8M sq ft over six phases; Diode Ventures had filed a preliminary plan in 2022 for 359 undeveloped acres and QTS was an earlier prospective customer that withdrew over power timelines.

Key data: Phase one 208,000 sq ft plus Evergy substation

Claim classification: documented_fact · Verification: conflicting_sources_preserved · Retrieved: 2026-09-13

Limitation: The 1.8M sq ft / six-phase description conflicts with the 1.56M sq ft / five-building figure reported elsewhere for Project Mica.
