Core-field coverage counts eight basic fields available in the Atlas. It is not an accuracy score or a measure of technical specification completeness. Individual evidence checks appear below.

Evidence by field

Evidence status applies to the named field and cited sources. “Not found” means those sources do not establish the fact; it does not establish absence.

Capacity & development

Planned23 MW

Power for servers, GPUs, storage & networking (IT power)

The planned initial stage explicitly discloses 23 MW critical IT load inside approximately 26 MW electrical capacity. No dated delivery is established. The later electrical maximum is approximately 52 MW; its IT figure is printed as 46 WM, so that later stage is held for clarification and is not added.

Government certification

Certification not verified

No verified certification scope has been assigned to this record. Unknown does not mean uncertified.

What certification covers →

Scope and context

  • Planned facility on former pulp mill land. 26 MW connection rating excluded from IT capacity subtotals.
  • The initial planned stage is 23 MW critical IT. The 26 MW electrical connection is an enclosing boundary, not additional server power.
  • Technical details reported by Data Center Map are shown separately from the Atlas's primary-source observations.

Wesley Vale discloses an initial 23 MW critical IT stage

The planned project describes 26 MW initial electrical capacity containing 23 MW critical IT, with a later 52 MW electrical maximum.

Evidence scope
Named facility · Firmus
Evidence as-of date
Applicable date not stated

How to read this: Later IT figure is printed as approximately 46 WM, an apparent unit typo. Hold this figure for clarification; initial 23 MW is inside the ultimate project and cannot be added to 46. Text says train and run frontier models, not evidence of installed GPUs or current inference service.

Commercial commitmentAustraliaContracted

South Australia energy agreement covers 600 MW of load

Firmus reports a 12-year electricity supply agreement signed in June 2026 for its first South Australian AI factories and names Gunvor Group.

Not specified in this evidence

How to read this: This is power procurement, not a compute customer/offtake contract. The source does not allocate 600 MW between sites or identify it as IT load. Existing 1000/1300 MW campus IT envelopes remain approval-dependent.
