Proposed-site record

Wilsonville Data Center

High-priority Wilsonville / Shelby County proposal from Northpoint Development. The prior display name incorrectly conflated this site with the separate VoltCore bitcoin-mine proposal in Somerville / Morgan County; this record now tracks the Wilsonville data center.

Compute Workload

This panel tracks what the facility is for without assuming that every project is AI training, inference, or cloud capacity.

Undisclosed / unknownUnknown

No source-backed workload, customer, hardware, or training/inference allocation is attached to this record yet.

Workload classification remains unknown in the reviewed record.

Public Money

No public funding record attached yet. Local subsidy, tax-abatement, land, bond, and utility records need follow-up.

Water

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: Inside Climate News reported that the Wilsonville feasibility plan said developers still needed to verify available water volume and wastewater-treatment capacity. No reviewed source discloses a withdrawal, consumption, service, or discharge quantity; water and wastewater remain unresolved.

Power

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: Inside Climate News reported the feasibility plan's projected peak power demand of 1,008 MW and said the power source, substation size, and location were still subject to verification or adjustment. The dataset's 1,008 MW therefore remains reported planned peak/project context, not approved utility load, generation capacity, energized capacity, or data-center IT load.

Bloom / Fuel Cells

No fuel-cell or Bloom Energy source is attached to this project yet.
