Proposed-site record

Quantum Frederick

High-priority Quantum Frederick master-planned campus on the former Eastalco site. County and utility sources distinguish the 2.4 GW ultimate campus context from a 240 MW first-phase service plan; individual developer/operator projects and their energized or IT-load capacity remain separate.

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

No public funding record attached yet. Local subsidy, tax-abatement, land, bond, and utility records need follow-up.

Water

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: Frederick County and Maryland briefing materials describe the former Eastalco site and active campus development, but the reviewed public sources do not establish a campus-wide water-service quantity, cooling withdrawal, consumption, or wastewater capacity.

Power

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: Frederick County describes a 2,100-acre campus planned for approximately 2.4 GW, while FirstEnergy says Potomac Edison's planned 230 kV substation was expected to support 240 MW in the first phase and accommodate up to 1,000 MW in later phases. These are planned campus and utility-service contexts, not energized capacity or a single facility's confirmed IT load; the dataset's 264-2,400 MW remains unclassified.
