What changes the reading
- Lambda appears in this registry twice, here and at the Caprock campus in Hale County. Aligned owns the building in both cases and Lambda is the certified occupant in both.[1]
- One trade report gives this building a future capacity figure three orders of magnitude above every other account of it. It is not published here. Where sources disagree by that margin the smaller and better corroborated figure is the one carried.[3]
Still not public
- The contracted portion Lambda holds is not separated from the building total.
- Job commitments and abatement terms are not public.
- Interconnection detail beyond the onsite substation is not public.
