Proposed-site record

Project Bluestem (pre-proposal)

Project Bluestem remains a conceptual Cloverleaf proposal near Tonganoxie. Its public FAQ documents planned closed-loop cooling, Evergy's ongoing capacity study, and developer-funded incremental power/transmission infrastructure, while local reporting says no formal permit application had been filed as of August 2026. The dataset's 600-1,200 MW remains an unfinalized project/power estimate; site-specific will-serve, water, wastewater, customer, and IT-load evidence remain unresolved.

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 $14 billion; Cloverleaf describes a multi-billion-dollar taxable investment and community-investment intent. Any sales-tax exemption, abatement, infrastructure, utility-cost, or community-benefit agreement records still need local review.

Water

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: Cloverleaf's Project Bluestem site describes planned closed-loop cooling with a one-time fill and day-to-day use comparable to an office building. This is a developer design commitment, not a water-right, service, withdrawal, consumption, or wastewater quantity; a public source library reports no written project-specific water-right or will-serve record in the reviewed official materials.

Power

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: Cloverleaf's current FAQ says Project Bluestem is conceptual, Evergy is studying the site's potential capacity, and no formal local approval or permit request has been submitted. The developer told The Mirror in May 2026 that the site could require up to 1.2 GW, but said the figure would not be known until utility confirmation; August 2026 local reporting likewise says no formal application had been filed. The dataset's 600-1,200 MW remains unfinalized planned project/power context, not confirmed requested, approved, energized, generation, or data-center IT-load capacity.
