Data discrepancy notes — surfaced for transparency

Power gap: linked BTM gas generation (534 MW) covers only 63% of DC load (840 MW) — the project is likely supplementing with grid power or has additional BTM gen units not yet filed.

Power equipment opportunities HIGH CONFIDENCE Stranded-Gas Compute

Inferred gen-set demand for this project. Headline rollup is shown publicly; the per-unit equipment class, operator-practice library citations, and the full methodology trail are in the operator console.

Backup gen-sets — n/a

No separate backup tier expected

The distributed reciprocating fleet IS the prime power. Sites of this class don't add a separate packaged-diesel backup tier.

Procurement window

Typically 18–24 months before in-service

—

Based on AESO in-service date —. RFQs typically issue inside this window.

Operator practice (curated)

Match: "crusoe"

Crusoe Energy Systems pioneered stranded-gas-to-compute. Each Crusoe energy park typically runs distributed Caterpillar G3500-series natural-gas reciprocating engines (1-3 MW per unit) behind the meter. The reciprocating fleet IS the prime power source.

Source freshness When was each underlying source last refreshed

Each fact on this page is only as fresh as its source scrape. Green = refreshed in the last 24 hours. Amber = 24-48 hours. Yellow/red = 2+ days. If you're making a procurement decision off something here, the freshness column tells you whether to verify with the underlying agency before acting.
