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.

Water

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: the City of Imperial's project notice identifies the county-approved or approval-in-process complex but does not establish delivered water. The developer describes zero Colorado River water and reclaimed-water design assumptions, while public reporting describes a disputed request for approximately 287 million gallons annually; the water agreement, final permit posture, and operating quantity remain unresolved.

Power

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: the City of Imperial identifies a 330 MW data center, a separate 330 MW emergency-generator building, and an 862 MWh energy-storage system. The developer says the 330 MW grid supply connects to Imperial Irrigation District through an onsite substation and that natural-gas generators are emergency backup only. These are planned utility and backup-power figures, not confirmed energized or data-center IT-load capacity.
