notes: >
  Developer reported as "Homer City Redevelopment / Kiewit"; neither has an
  entry in data/operators.yml, so developer field omitted — both need
  operators.yml entries (type: developer) before linking. capacity_mw of 4500
  reflects the stated 4.5 GW of natural-gas power generation for the campus
  (converting the decommissioned ~2 GW coal plant), not a measured IT-load
  figure — basis unspecified. land_acres recorded from "more than 3,200
  acres". investment_usd from "initial capital investment expected to exceed
  $10 billion". Commercial operations slated for 2027 (operational_date).
  Single-source support, hence aggregate confidence medium. locality Homer
  City (borough within Indiana County, PA) taken from the project name.
