Proposed-site record
Joliet's proposed 795-acre Hillwood/PowerHouse campus is moving through public zoning, annexation, utility, and development-agreement processes. The planned 1.8 GW and developer tax-impact claims remain separate from approved or energized capacity, measured water, wastewater, workload, and public spending.
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: the developer describes about $20 billion of private investment and projects about $2.1 billion in property taxes over 30 years. These are attributed investment and tax-impact projections, not recorded spending or a public subsidy; the City's posted tax and development-agreement materials remain the relevant public-money trail.
Source reviewed September 9, 2026: the developer's project page describes closed-loop cooling and no process-water discharge, but the City's transparency page links a water-and-sewer narrative without establishing a final service quantity, withdrawal, measured consumption, or wastewater capacity. Preserve the design claim as attributed and the facility quantities as unresolved.
Source reviewed September 9, 2026: the developer describes a planned, phased 1.8 GW campus to be served by ComEd with no planned onsite generation, while the City of Joliet says the 795-acre proposal remains in public zoning, annexation, utility, and development-agreement processes. This is planned campus and utility-service context, not an approved, energized, or confirmed data-center IT-load figure.
No fuel-cell or Bloom Energy source is attached to this project yet.
