Proposed-site record
Edged's proposed 8 MW Project Gateway in Prichard remains a proposal under evaluation. The developer describes waterless cooling and self-funded power infrastructure, while August 2026 reporting says a proposed temporary city moratorium could affect the project; enacted status, utility service, facility IT load, measured water, wastewater, workload allocation, and public funding remain unresolved.
This panel tracks what the facility is for without assuming that every project is AI training, inference, or cloud capacity.
No source-backed workload, customer, hardware, or training/inference allocation is attached to this record yet.
Workload classification remains unknown in the reviewed record.Source leads point to attached records or reporting. They still need field-level review before being treated as verified evidence.
Source reviewed September 9, 2026: Project Gateway's current page attributes a $93 million private investment and says Edged would pay for its own power and equipment upgrades. These are developer-stated investment and cost commitments, not verified public spending, subsidy, or completed infrastructure payment; local tax-abatement, permit, road, and agreement records remain unresolved.
Source reviewed September 9, 2026: Project Gateway's current project page describes Edged's proposed closed-loop waterless cooling and says daily cooling would use zero community water, with an attributed comparison of about 23 million gallons saved annually. These are developer design and projected-comparison claims, not measured withdrawal, consumption, wastewater, or permit quantities; local service and permit records remain unresolved.
Source reviewed September 9, 2026: Project Gateway's current page describes an 8 MW proposed facility and says the developer would manage and pay for its power use and equipment upgrades. Data Center Dynamics reported on August 10, 2026 that Prichard was considering a temporary moratorium that could affect the project, but the reviewed sources do not establish enacted-moratorium terms, utility interconnection, energized capacity, or data-center IT load.
No fuel-cell or Bloom Energy source is attached to this project yet.
