notes: >-
  Operator Compass Datacenters has no operators.yml entry — operator field
  omitted; Compass Datacenters needs an operators.yml entry. id built from a
  slug of the distinctive proper name ("compass") plus the most-specific place
  (locality Meridian). capacity_mw 500 is the ~500 MW total (~40 MW per
  building, supplied via Mississippi Power); basis unspecified. building_sqft
  250000 is per-building. Status "broke ground (2025)" resolved to
  under-construction. Single source (DataCenter Dynamics), so confidence medium.
