DC Intel assessment

Probable

Why

Master site development permit is approved/amended and grading activity has begun; federal assessment trigger cleared; dedicated 920 MW power application is well advanced.

Risk

AUC power decision, FID, financing, anchor customer and equipment commitments remain outstanding.

Watch

AUC decision, power-plant approval, FID and named customer/tenant.

Power strategy

Proposed 920 MW on-site natural-gas generation.
