What remains uncertain

The government pages describe "an agreement" without stating whether it is binding; Solaria's own release could not be opened, and Solaria is not listed as a participant because its listing could not be checked.
No tenant or customer is named. The first phase (200 MW of data centers and all solar generation) is described as concluding in 2029 or 2030; energy infrastructure for the second phase (300 MW) is still to be determined.
The 500 MW is stated for the data center park without saying whether it is IT or facility capacity. The $5.7 billion is a planned investment total, not a financing.
