Track the decision arc, not just the project mention.
A local record can establish a site, project entity, public action, and attached conditions. It cannot by itself prove utility capacity, construction, operation, or full buildout.
GovData Consulting keeps those stages separate and links each claim to the public record, the identity basis, and the latest verified outcome.
Published evidence: five project arcs with later company confirmation, two terminated proposals, and five utility-stage record sets. Sources were checked through August 3, 2026. These are selected audits, not market totals.
Seven decision arcs, including two that stopped
The same evidence model covers operating facilities, construction, conditional approvals, withdrawals, and terminated options.

Utility records need their own stage model
A tariff, franchise, filed service agreement, construction announcement, operating facility, and withdrawn inquiry answer different questions.
| Record set | Public action | Supported status | Still unresolved |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indiana Michigan Power | Large-load tariff approved February 19, 2025 | Tariff in force | Capacity for any named project |
| Pine Island, Minnesota | Xcel and Echo Zone agreement filed April 14, 2026 | Regulatory review pending | Approval, construction, and service commencement |
| Stillwater, Oklahoma | Franchise approved; project service agreements later announced | Construction reported | Operation and full buildout |
| Mesa, Arizona | Water agreements approved May 17, 2021 | Meta later reported serving traffic | Full buildout and actual demand |
| Valparaiso, Indiana | Exploratory option approved January 9, 2025 | Option terminated March 13, 2025 | No approved project or utility commitment existed |

Read the published evidence
Three audits cover project identity and outcomes, utility stages, and the broader parcel-to-permit process.
From Local Vote to Company Confirmation
Five confirmed project arcs and two terminated proposals test stage, identity, conditions, and later outcome.
From Inquiry to Site in Service
Five public record sets keep tariff, authority, agreement, construction, operation, and withdrawal separate.
From Parcel to Permit
Six municipal records show how a project moves, pauses, changes, or stops across separate approval layers.
