Meta data center, Kuna

Meta Platforms, Inc. · contracting as Brisbie LLC · Kuna, ID · data center

Contract Demand, the ramp schedule and the maximum size are trade-secret exhibits in every docket; the 20 MW figures here are floors and thresholds, not the campus's size. Review after the IPUC decides IPC-E-26-25 (Idaho Power asked for a decision by 2027-01-29).

Why nothing here is added up

Never add these figures to each other, to a utility forecast that already includes the facility, or across facilities. The utility on a dossier is the one a filing or contract names. Proximity to a substation, a service-territory polygon or a balancing authority never establishes who serves a facility.

  • A superseded announcement restates the earlier one: the chain is one figure, not several.
  • A service request, a minimum billing demand, a contracted capacity and a metered use describe one facility in different roles; the same MW can appear in more than one.
  • A utility's class forecast (Idaho Power's additional firm load, PGE's data-center load) already contains its named customers: adding a named figure counts it twice.
  • MW, MWa, MWh and square feet are different quantities; dollars are not load.
