Proposed-site record

Project Spade

Google's Project Spade site identifies a two-building New Florence campus with planned non-evaporative cooling and late-2026 construction timing. Its reported 1,200 MW remains unclassified project/power context; public project materials do not establish utility load, energized capacity, IT load, measured water use, or public subsidy.

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

The project site says Google will pay for electricity and other direct growth costs, but this is a company/project statement rather than an itemized public subsidy or spending record. Preserve public incentives, tax abatements, land terms, and infrastructure contributions as unresolved.

Water

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: Project Spade's public project site describes a two-building campus using closed-loop, non-evaporative air cooling and says initial operations would use water only for standard domestic needs. The site does not publish a project-specific withdrawal, wastewater quantity, or service commitment; preserve those fields as unknown.

Power

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: Project Spade's public project site identifies Google as the end user, says construction is anticipated in late 2026, and states Google will pay its own electricity and direct growth costs. The dataset's 1,200 MW remains reported project/power context, not confirmed requested, approved, energized, generation, or data-center IT-load capacity.

No fuel-cell or Bloom Energy source is attached to this project yet.
