  Single source (DataCenterDynamics), medium confidence. Two hyperscale data
  centers (~1.5M sq ft total) proposed behind-the-meter at Millstone Nuclear
  Power Station in Waterford, New London County, CT (site_hint gave "New London";
  location signal is more specific — Waterford). Operator NE Edge has no
  operators.yml entry — operator field omitted; NE Edge needs an operators.yml
  entry, so the id slug uses the distinctive proper name. Status resolved to
  `cancelled` per the source, whose stated basis is the governor signaling a
  slowdown on new data centers in his 2026 State of the State — a thin/indirect
  basis; treat the cancellation as provisional pending a confirming source.
