Proposed-site record

Eagle Rock Data Center

Eagle Rock abandoned its Christian County pursuit in August 2026 after uncertainty over the proposed power supplier. The historical 1,000 MW figure and $6 billion project context remain separate from approved or energized capacity, IT load, water use, and public spending; the record should remain blocked or paused rather than an active proposal.

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 reviewed September 9, 2026: reporting describes an approximately $6 billion developer project context, but the abandonment reporting does not establish completed spending, public infrastructure cost, incentive, or subsidy. Keep public-money fields unknown.

Water

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: the Christian County public discussion and developer Q&A addressed water concerns but no facility-specific withdrawal, consumption, cooling, or wastewater quantity was disclosed. Because Eagle Rock abandoned its pursuit in August 2026, retain the water questions as historical unresolved context.

Power

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: Christian County reporting says Eagle Rock abandoned the proposed 1,000 MW project after uncertainty over delivery of power from the proposed Lincoln Land Energy Center. The 1,000 MW remains historical proposed project/power context, not approved, energized, generation, or data-center IT-load capacity.
