Signal notes
2GW (2000MW) Microsoft data center in Texas, to be powered by a Joulent gas plant. Signal gives only the state (Texas → TX); no locality or county, so place resolves to state. Power developer Joulent and investor National Grid Ventures have no operators.yml ids; the $1.75bn figure is National Grid Ventures' stake in Joulent (the power infrastructure), not a data-center site metric, so it is not recorded here. Single low- confidence source.
