notes: >
  Single Meta Los Lunas campus (one physical site, multiple phases) — the
  AI/ML expansion is folded in here rather than split into a second record.
  Campus status is operational/expanding; treated as `operational`. Phase:
  a two-building AI/ML expansion (~$800M over ~three years) is
  proposed/permitting per the same source — Meta's first portfolio site
  dedicated to AI/ML. investment_usd = $2.5B+ reflects the "catalyzed direct
  investment" phrasing for the whole campus, distinct from the ~$800M
  expansion cost. Address 4250 Messenger Loop NW is held via "Greater Kudu
  LLC". Power figure from source (885 MW contracted solar/wind + 100 MW
  battery storage) is contracted renewable procurement, NOT stated IT load
  capacity, so it is not recorded as capacity_mw — recorded here in notes to
  avoid asserting load precision no source backs. Single medium-confidence
  source (DataCenterDynamics).
