Proposed-site record

Sterling Data Center

Granite Renewables' Sterling-area lead remains an early-stage proposed project. Official Logan County minutes document the county's rulemaking context and an approximately 2 GW concept with separate planned generation, solar, and storage components; no formal application, facility water quantity, utility approval, energized capacity, IT load, or public funding amount is established.

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

Source lead: dataset project_cost field reports $15 billion. Logan County regulation and moratorium records show local governance activity, but incentive, abatement, infrastructure, land, and public-cost records still need review.

Water

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: Logan County's official October 14, 2025 commissioners minutes describe a proposed Granite Renewables project near County Road 9 but do not establish a cooling method, water source, water right, withdrawal, consumption, or wastewater quantity. Preserve the earlier regional-water concern as unresolved context, not facility use.

Power

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: Logan County minutes describe a proposal near County Road 9 with close to 2 GW nameplate capacity, including approximately 1 GW of onsite natural-gas generation, 630 MW of solar, and 1,800 MWh of storage. These are reported planned generation/project figures; no utility request, approval, energized capacity, or data-center IT load is established.
