notes: >
  Aligned's own 74.89-acre campus sited within the larger Quantum Frederick /
  Quantum Loophole 2,100-acre park (tracked separately as
  quantum-loophole-frederick). Capacity: Building 1 (IAD04) is 72 MW; the
  planned four-building campus (3.3M sq ft) could reach 264 MW — the 264 MW
  figure is the full four-building buildout. Building 1 broke ground February
  2025 and is under construction; three further buildings proposed. Operator
  "Aligned Data Centers" has no operators.yml entry and needs one; operator
  field omitted rather than invent an id. Single-source (DataCenter Dynamics).
