SOURCE RECORD

Tenaska Cass County data center and gas plant site: source record

planned

Very likely the Cass County component of the Tenaska/Google southeast Nebraska proposal (TEMP-23) but no fetched source states that the announced 1,354-acre Cass County site is the site for the Google-linked campus, so both records are retained. Acreage reported as 1,354 acres optioned by Tenaska and as 'a 1,300-acre data center project' by WOWT - a minor conflict preserved here. No MW figure published for the Cass County site specifically.
