notes: >-
  Operator resolved to openai via the canonical "Stargate" alias; site_hint
  names "Stargate Lordstown". Capacity source states "under 0.3 GW projected"
  — recorded 300 MW as an upper bound (0.3 GW), not a firm figure; basis
  unspecified. Reported developer is a "SoftBank/Foxconn JV"; neither SoftBank
  nor Foxconn has an operators.yml entry, so developer is omitted and both need
  entries. Status "under construction (land clearing)". All facts from a single
  low-confidence Epoch AI source.
