Compute Workload

This panel tracks what the facility is for without assuming that every project is AI training, inference, or cloud capacity.

Undisclosed / unknownUnknown

Data Center Dynamics reports that Energy Storage Solutions withdrew the proposed Kingsboro development after a special-use permit denial, and Sound Rivers reports the developer withdrew its offer to purchase more than 100 acres at the business park. The developer's project material describes an eight-phase data-center campus, but the reviewed sources do not identify a tenant, facility workload, hardware or training/inference split.

Energy Storage Solutions is the developer, not a disclosed compute customer or operator. The reported $19.2B value, eight phases and varying 300 MW/900 MW project figures are proposal context and not workload capacity; AI wording does not establish training, inference, hardware or allocation.

Power

Source review September 9, 2026: Energy Storage Solutions' project summary describes a proposed 300 MW AC / 1,200 MWh behind-the-meter generation-and-storage system, with four 25 MW AI data centers and four 50 MW mobile data centers. Data Center Dynamics reports the Kingsboro proposal was withdrawn in July 2026. These source figures are project and generation/storage context; the dataset's 900 MW remains unverified requested, approved, energized, generation, or data-center IT-load capacity.
