Proposed-site record

La Pine Data Center

La Pine's city council unanimously closed the proposed Boxminer industrial-land sale matter on May 27, 2026 after staff reported unsupported revenue, employment, and utility-system assumptions. The 20 MW remains proposed load context; facility water, wastewater, energized capacity, IT load, workload allocation, and public funding 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.

Water

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: Boxminer described a proposed closed-loop design in public reporting, but the City of La Pine's May 27 council packet does not disclose a permitted withdrawal, consumption, cooling-service quantity, or wastewater discharge. Preserve the closed-loop description as attributed proposal context, not measured water performance.

Power

Source reviewed September 9, 2026: the City of La Pine's May 27, 2026 council packet says Midstate Electric had no established rate schedule for a 20 MW load and that any rate would require negotiation and board approval. The city's unanimous decision closed the proposed property-sale matter. The dataset's 20 MW remains proposed load context, not approved, energized, generation, or data-center IT-load capacity.
