Power: what each source says

1 GW planned; first 200 MW was targeted for Q3 2026 (The National, 2025-12-05). An October 2026 tracker reports Khazna now pointing to a Q4 2026 go-live; no public confirmation that any capacity is live as of 2026-11-09. Epoch AI projects 200 MW IT ~2026-12 and 1 GW ~2028 (estimate). Separate from the 200 MW Microsoft/G42 Khazna expansion.

Figures labelled Epoch AI are estimates from satellite imagery, permits and filings. Company figures come from the operator, owner or its filings. IT power is what the servers draw; in Epoch AI’s figures for these campuses it runs about 15–35% below total facility power.
