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: FOX Carolina reported the proposed FILOT / fee-in-lieu-of-tax agreement was tabled, with the more-than-$400 million project no longer under consideration for now. Keep this as a paused public-money record until reintroduced.

Water

Water source, cooling method, withdrawal permits, and wastewater impacts were not resolved before the county tabled the proposal; reopen local sourcing only if Project Alpaca is reintroduced.

Power

Source lead: dataset reports 49 MW, and Cleanview lists Volt Edge Energy as the planned developer. Utility tariff, interconnection, and ratepayer records should be reviewed only if the project returns.

Bloom / Fuel Cells

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

NDA / Secrecy
