  Existing operational campus on the site of the former TVA Widows Creek
  coal plant, operating since 2019 — hence status: operational. The
  $1.5B figure is an announced expansion phase scheduled across 2026 and
  2027 (expansion not yet built). Single source (Yellowhammer News),
  hence medium confidence.
