The source note says the 300 MW trade-coverage figure is not stated in the cited state announcement. The upstream row remains attributed below, but this value is not repeated as site capacity.
What the source record says
Announcement describes four buildings of roughly 400,000 sq ft each plus an associated electrical substation, at '000 Ford Road, Gaffney'. Initial operations expected online by year-end 2028. Coordinates are an approximate geocode of Ford Road — no parcel-level location was published. A 300 MW full-build-out figure appears in trade coverage but is not stated in the state announcement, so capacity is omitted here.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
