Signal notes

All values from a single source (Technical.ly, 2026-07-06), hence medium aggregate confidence. Developer reported as "Starwood Digital Holdings" — no matching entry in operators.yml, so the developer field is omitted. Needs an operators.yml entry ("Starwood Digital Holdings") before it can be recorded as an id. capacity_mw: source says "up to 1.2 GW" (recorded as 1200 MW, treated as an upper bound) delivered via Delmarva Power's Red Lion substation — basis is utility supply, not stated IT load. buildings: source says "~11-12 buildings"; a range, not a single plain number, so the numeric buildings field is omitted and the range is recorded here instead (blank beats invented). building_sqft: source describes "~6.1 million sq ft colocation across two campuses." Recorded as one project-site record because signals do not separate the two campuses by locality/parcel; if distinct campus locations later emerge, this may split into two records per the one-record-per-physical-site rule. status: source describes the project as proposed and facing community opposition — recorded as announced. Timeline (not yet firm dates): construction could begin Q3 2026, operations Q2 2028; kept in notes rather than as announced_date/operational_date since only quarters, not dates, are given. location: site_hint gives "New Castle, DE" — recorded as locality New Castle; note this may instead refer to New Castle County (the two are distinguishable in Delaware). Refine if a more specific locality is sourced.
