Grid and gas impact

At full buildout this campus is announced at 1,000 MW. After phasing to 2030 and weighting by build stage, the index expects about 800 MW running by 2030.

At that level it would use about 5,256 GWh of electricity a year, roughly what 487,000 US homes use (EIA average of about 10,800 kWh per home), and add about 82.9 MMcf/d of natural gas burn on an average day, counting both on-site generation and the region's gas-fired power plants.

Its grid and gas scores tie: it draws on both the transmission grid and dedicated or on-site gas supply. Rated 3 of 4 bolts. Solid bolts mean the campus is operating or under construction.

Research note. ~366 MW on-site (Enchanted Rock) per itk.
