What is established
Announced. 500 MW announced (basis not stated by the source); $25B announced investment; owned or developed by Sur Energy.
What is not disclosed
Accelerator count, hardware platform, timeline, named tenant, power source, cooling technology — not disclosed by any source on this page. Recorded as unknown, never as zero.
Analyst note
Letter-of-intent stage: OpenAI and Sur Energy signed an LOI, up to $25B under Argentina's RIGI incentive regime. 'Up to 500 MW'; exact location and start date undisclosed, so no coordinates are recorded.
Corroborated by more than one source, but not yet backed by physical evidence.
Power readiness
Capacity basis unclear
A megawatt figure exists but the source does not say whether it is IT load, site power or generation.
Derived from the evidence on this page by a published rule, not a model. How this is calculated.
