Methods and sources

Ownership roles

Title identifies the legal owner of the site; operation identifies who runs it. AI-hardware ownership follows the catalog’s attribution of the machines inside, whose owner may lease the facility.

Each role requires its own attribution. An operator named in a source supplies evidence of operation only.

Parent companies

Ownership checks start with each company named at the site and follow recorded parent relationships. A company holding several roles is checked once. Its linked company page lists the relationships and their sources; further parents may remain undocumented.

Level 1 identifies a company at the site, level 2 its parent, and each further level another parent. Export-control designations and government investments are assigned to the company concerned.

Missing values

Unrecorded roles remain blank. Findings whose company position is unresolved stay in the list with that position labelled unknown.

Publication limits

Subscription corporate data helps identify parent relationships and sovereign investments. Publication is limited to relationship classes and supporting public sources; licensed records, identifiers and values are withheld.

Curator’s note on this campus

Three records describe the New Carlisle campus at different stages and scopes. Recorded totals use the 2,200 MW full-build-out figure from the October 2025 CNBC/Amazon reporting, which describes the planned 30-building campus rather than the plant running today. Operating totals use Epoch’s current-deployment estimate instead; CNBC reported seven buildings online. The Project Rainier cluster’s 350 MW figure remains visible for comparison but is excluded from both totals. The cluster record also reports 400,000 accelerators.
