White Cloud Acres

planned

600 MW data center with a co-located natural gas energy facility. Investment figures: more than $6 billion / $6.3 billion combined, of which about $4 billion is attributed to the data center by missouridatacenters.org. The 600 MW is described as data center demand; the gas facility capacity is not separately stated, so onsite_generation_mw is left null. Electric utility not documented; Evergy Missouri West operates the nearby Mullin Creek substation and is building a separate 440 MW gas plant five miles south of Maryville, but no source links that plant to this project.
