Permitting and delivery status

Uinta County approved the data-center campus CUP on June 16, 2026, with 15 conditions. The county separately approved a conditional-use permit for the independent power production facility on September 15, 2026. These are two different permit records. As of this review, no evidence of physical construction, power delivery, commissioning, or operations was verified.

Power, capacity and water

Prometheus announced a 1.25 GW initial campus plan and a pathway to 5 GW, but the basis is not disclosed clearly enough to call it IT load. The developer describes phased on-site power and closed-loop cooling. Permit conditions create future public checkpoints for well-water consumption and heat dispersal after commissioning; they are not current measured outcomes.

Finance and customer exposure

The reviewed public sources do not establish campus-specific financing, capital actually spent, a named tenant, contracted compute or project revenue. Prometheus is privately held, and no public ticker exposure was identified.

Legal and community context

Residents sought judicial review of the campus permit. The petition was dismissed on standing and procedural grounds, not because a court adjudicated the technical or environmental issues on their merits. The permit conditions include environmental compliance, annual inspections, water reporting, a future heat analysis, roads, lighting and noise requirements.

Investor read-through

The investment thesis is contingent on converting land-use approvals into a complete permit set, funded construction, a deliverable on-site power system and contracted compute demand. Neither the 1.25 GW planned capacity nor projected local benefits establish financing, construction, revenue or returns.

Permits and next checkpoints

• Before physical construction: complete and filed applicable state/federal/local permits; objective start evidence under the CUP
• Power facility: separate site-plan, environmental and construction approvals, then physical build and commissioning
• At first operation: campus power delivered and IT load/customer acceptance verified separately
• One year after commissioning and annually for ten years: public well-water consumption reporting under campus CUP condition
• Within 90 days after first operation: developer’s promised public heat-dispersal CFD analysis

Unverified items

Full project delivery remains uncertified: no verified construction start; complete Wyoming Industrial Siting Act, DEQ/EPA air and other applicable permits; detailed campus/site plan; primary county resolution and separate power CUP instrument; power-plant design/fuel/emissions; financed/spent capital; tenant/customer; energized capacity; commissioning; operating IT load; metered water; or recognized project revenue. Public developer capacity figure lacks an IT-vs-facility-power basis. The August judicial dismissal was procedural/standing-based, not a merits ruling on environmental claims.
