Limitations and interpretation
- This record is the Kapwork Grow tracker's merged view of a facility, from the tracker snapshot built 2026-11-02. Facts tagged KW are the tracker's resolved values; the per-source rows it was merged from are listed under Sources and on the tracker record.

- Capacity figures are as reported by the cited sources and may describe planned rather than energised capacity.
“Not reported” means missing information, not zero. Completed and withdrawn records can remain available as historical records.
Nearest build: Haversine great-circle distance on the tracker latitude and longitude, in statute miles, rounded to 0.1. First-seen dates: first_seen: the earliest committed snapshot of data/dcfo.sqlite holding any of the facility's source keys (source:source_id), narrowed to the nightly run day by the alert sender's facility_new events when they are available. status_first_seen: the start of the unbroken run of snapshots, ending at this one, in which a facility sharing a source key had the current status, narrowed by the latest status_changed event to that status. Dates are Kapwork's, not the sources'.
What we don't know yet
- The building area, the investment, the general contractor's name and the completion date.
- The carriers that serve the campus.
- How the operator and its GC pay their contractors: portal, terms, days to pay.
