The announced PORTS-Pike project scope changed
A new sponsor disclosure described approximately 8 GW of planned IT capacity, new job projections, community-fund commitments, and a closed-loop air-cooled design intent.
Why it matters
The figures are forward-looking sponsor disclosures, not observed outcomes, but they materially change the current project receipt and its unanswered questions.
The national 2030 data-center electricity estimate was updated
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory published a 2025 update with a 649 TWh reference case and a wider 521–843 TWh compounded uncertainty range for 2030.
Why it matters
The range is a modeled national forecast, not a local project measurement. BrooksFlow preserves the uncertainty band and the earlier evidence vintage.
