Timeline

Notes

Project name explicitly references 'Data Center.' 176 MW is consistent with a mid-scale DC campus. Queue date of January 2020 indicates a long-standing project — 6+ years in the NYISO queue without withdrawal suggests either a slow-moving legitimate project or repeated study cycle delays. NYPA interconnect at Reynolds 115kV in St. Lawrence County. The applicant name is withheld by NYISO. Petawatt Holdings filed a withdrawn 100 MW load request (queue 0909) at the nearby Dennison 115kV substation | Long queue tenure (6+ years, still active as of March 2026) without public announcement is unusual. Could be a legitimate project awaiting power allocation or a placeholder reservation. 176 MW scale is in the possible_dc range. Not counted as a confirmed new discovery.
