Conflicts and open questions
- The 400 MW figure is the solar contract's generating capacity, not the data center's load; no load figure is published.
- The 2021 bond figure ($25 billion) is from DCD only; the Port KC record was not opened.
- Coordinates are approximate, placed in the business park along NE Parvin Road.
