368 MW is described as full build-out load in about 2030, of which roughly 268 MW is new load on top of the existing 100 MW crypto mine - recorded as requested_load_mw, not IT load. Two buildings in three phases. Water figures conflict between sources (about 2 million gallons/year vs 2-5 million gallons/year for landscaping). The site is outside Kearney city limits but within the city's two-mile extraterritorial zoning jurisdiction. Architect DLR Group and contractor FCL Builders were reported.
