Signal notes

Under construction; 3,700+ workers on site, nine buildings phased through 2030. Capacity 2+ GW (Meta) scaling to 5 GW (DCD) — value shown is the firm 2 GW; 5 GW is the long-run plan, now also corroborated by Wikipedia (sig-20260706-hyperion-capacity, low confidence tertiary source). Investment conflicts by scope: $10B+ original announcement (Meta) vs $27B Blue Owl Capital JV financing (DCD, the value used); larger long-run press figures not fetch-verified. Land: 2,250 + 1,400 acres (3,650 total, primary breakdown retained); Wikipedia (sig-20260706-hyperion-land) says "nearly 4,000 acres after buying an additional 1,400 acres" — a mild upward discrepancy against a low-confidence source, so the sourced 3,650 figure is kept and the Wikipedia figure is noted rather than adopted.

  Tertiary corroboration of the 5 GW long-run plan and the ~4,000-acre land figure; low confidence.
